Let's get back to racing and sharing great information. I have a question. Looking at the front air dam on my Berretta I believe I can relieve air pressure at the front by building an air scoop into

Working on the car this last Thursday evening the discussion came up on the need for a harmonic balancer on my small block. I have one of those expensive ones on it now and was told I do not need to

Dave; Most of the time I do not use a harmonic balancer. After a time my cranks will show cracks but overall it has not been a problem Rich Fox

The reason for using a Dampener is to absorb harmonic vibrations that cause stress on the crank (cracks and possible breakage). It will run without one but I wouldn't recommend it. John Beckett, LSR

Doug, The balancer is to preserve the crank, I understand that, but is there any problem with not using a flywheel? I'm just using a flexplate to turn the motor with and a hub coupler to drive the tu

I would not run without one. Balancing is sort of an averaging thing in that the engine is balanced but only over a range of rpm not any and all different speeds. The purpose of the harmonic damper i

Hi Dave, yes, I very definitely consider the suggestion to run without a harmonic damper, bad advice. I thoroughly researched this subject some time ago and wrote a tech article for a magazine on the

Ah'men Dave, the point here that most people miss is that harmonic dampening has nothing to do with engine balancing but in their own way both work to achieve smooth engine operation and long life. C

Check the SFI ratings on the two......The dampener is one of the factors in the NHRA rule book that that must meet higher specs as ET goes down (and presumably speed goes up) Ed.

Hallo Tom........ The only problem would be the engine will not run at low/idle rpm, due to to lack of mass that a flywheel generates. BMW, Mercedes and Audi are using 'Dual Mass' flywheels to give a
