I got the solid one then another and the're both going back because the don't fit. The collar is to short and hits the timing index before seating on the crank this would allow the lower timing chain sprocket to float in and out .3" resulting in failure at some point. The collar on the first one was over 1/2' to short and the second .3" shorter than stock. I also had to shave my starter snout to clear their flexplate and their roller rockers to clear the most commonly used performance valve spring diameter. NO more PRW for me. To their credit they did send a return shipping tag and offered a refund on the balancers.

The PowerBond Unit also sold under Pioneer brand & PBM is the only damper I use other than ATI. It's my "budget" choice... have never had a single problem with one, even in 700-750 HP motors, including circle track use. I've probably used 35-40 of them. I've had several Summit SFI dampers fail (slip). http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PIO-872037/

I bought an ATI, if you know anyone with a Summit or Jegs pro shop discount they can be had for about $350.
