DAMPER to use

Who is the best damper to use?? ATI or TCI ???? And its best to internal balance motor right ? Not a v.big motor cam 623 lift. Any help is deeply welcome. Thanks Fastfrog

use what ever balancer makes you warm and fuzzy inside.... as for Balance internal, external it don't make a hill of beans which just make sure it is ballanced, I have run both and didn't see any difference my external engine ran 8800 rpm many times if it was a big deal I think it would have shown up then.......

if I had to buy another one I would give this a shot..............in the meantime my ATI has served me well for over 14 years............and I just had it rebuilt and recertified a few years back for like 65 bucks.

For a race car I like ATI's stuff, I've used a number of them over the years and they have served me well.

I do have a TCI damper (not the rattler) on the Boss 429 EMC motor, seemed to have done its job. didn't notice any thing wierd on 3 teardowns.

I like the inovators west stuff, but haven't used one yet.

I have a Ford motor sport balancer on mine, the only thing I hate about it, is that it is shiny and glares when you put a timing light on it kind of like pointing your timing light in a mirror......

I've had my ATI for 13 yrs. and on 3 diff. engines. Haven't scattered one yet.

I don't like that chrome nonsense either. Usually just fix it with black Moroso timing tape.
