the crank shaft its harmonic balance?

Again, this is arguably the most polarizing issue here on the forum, and we ain't getting anywhere quickly

Let's leave it to the car owners to install of not install these... If anyone bought a kit and feels it's unsafe, feel free to contact me and I'll lowball you for a quick sale, LOL

I'm not an engineer although I'd really like to think I am... If these REALLY caused premature failure in ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, there would be overwhelming evidence showing that... We unfortunately are all ASSuming what counterweight this, harmonic that, and pulling quotes from the Internet and other forums, which can be the LEAST reliable sources of information...
I DO believe and will state again that shítty install causes pulley issues...

I have a Stillen 20% under drive, would I ever take it off? No, will I continue to install one on every car I own? Yes
Hell, I already have a kit for the Maxima I am forcing my dad to buy, lol


Some of us (7AT) don't have a flywheel, and it's also about removing rotational mass, so the car feels peppier. I try to explain it as, "Have you ever driven a car with a lightweight flywheel? Well this is like 10% as much as that does"


If it makes díck difference, I'll ask my best friend's dad who IS an engine engineer (for Cummins diesel though) if he has any input
