Call Lem and get the TCI flexplate. You won't regret it. Cool
I have a Romac sbf balancer on mine. The snout of my crank was cut back and there is no spacer on it. You might want to consider shortening the crank in this manner. Cool

Definetly not........ Not all balancers are good, reguardless of the SFI stamp.

ATI or Innovators West with JW Wheels for the Flex Plate is my choice.

I have witnessed some cracking on several JW flexplates with high power applications. I don't personally know but, some of my customers have been having great results from REACTOR.
I use BHJ, Romac or ATI dampners however, there are several good ones; (and several bad ones, too).

Ones I've used over the years have been decent. Haven't used one in probably 10 years though. Did use one of their dampers in 2008 on the EMC Boss 9 engine, Did its job.

The TCI plate that Schitty has is the same unit that Phillip uses in his T/D deal. It's not just about the brand ...it's the model. I'm not sure the part # is in the catalog........super HD w/o lite holes.

I run ATI dampners on all my motors and Reactor flexplates and Reactor is the only company that will recertify their product (once) so it will be good for 6 years
