Fluid Dampr...is it worth it??
Im thinking about buying a Fluid Dampr... i have a 350 bored .60 over with a 3932442 cast crank. it should be putting out 375hp. what size dampener should i use? and how much hp should it free up? im looking to go towards the 400hp mark without going too radical of a cam. thanks.

An ATI unit would do a better job for your motor.

Big stock damper is all you need. $60

A fluiddamper will not free up any extra horsepower to my knowledge. The main reason to use one would be longevity. As stated before a good new stock damper is all 95% of us need.

free up HP
ok well i know all i need is a "stock big balancer" and i already went aftermarket. I got a Powerforce pro force dampener but later on i would like to change it out with something that will free up at least 10hp. any ideas?

How can the harmonic balancer free up horsepower? by weighing less? It's function is merely to absorb vibrations, and I would think you need a specific minimum amount of mass to counteract / absorb the necessary frequencies / amplitudes of disturbance?
If I'm wrong here, please share your thoughts

Id say a light 6 inch balancer over a heavy, steel 8 inch balancer would free up some roating mass and help free up horsepower. HG
