Harmonic balancer for a stroker

Here's the one that I put on the 390 in the Swinger. I tried to insert the link to Summit's web page but I couldn't get it to work so I just copied the page. This one is SFI Rated for $180. They have a non-SFI version for about $50.00 less:

Lightweight, SFI-approved race balancers.
These Pioneer race balancers bring the advantages of bonded rubber to high-revving race and street/race applications where an SFI-approved balancer is required. Each balancer features a precision CNC-machined AUSI 1045 steel center bonded to an equally strong steel inertia ring. The advanced design makes these balancers very lightweight for an all-steel product. The steel inertia ring on these models is positively protected against forward and backward movement and has the added assurance of bonded rubber to eliminate spinning. Every Pioneer race balancer features easy-to-read, computer-etched timing marks.

Hi Ray,

I believe those were some I looked among others. I'm not sure how important the SFI rating is since I'm just an occasional racer but figured it would be good to have. I believe with the new stroker and sticky tires it will be in the low 12's, possible high 11's but that would be all. Not building something super radical here. Do you know when the SFI rating is required? Do you have to go so fast such as in the 11 sec. class to be required to run one like you do with a roll cage?


Thanks alot, Tracy
