I agree with mike. Mine were old, and the rubber wasnt looking the best. Plus im driving a blower off it, and the idea of a steel hub balancer just made sense . Other than that, i never had any issues with the stock gm balancers.

the factory gm balancer for your 5000 rpm application is fine.what happens to them is with years of use the rubber will break down,that can be a big problem.

Yea, but it looks cool! I’ll stick with the stocker. It may see 5600rpm on occasion but not often. The bigger plus of the new damper is the timing marks. I can’t seem to keep the timing tapes on for very long.
