The reason I ask is my VT2 5.7 ( LS1 ) was smooth through the full rev range so it was never a problem but the 6.0 vxr8 has feed back after 3,000+rpm in any gear at any speed, this is clearly not good for the engines internals long term, or my enjoyment!

That one won't fit your vxr8. You need the corvette style which has a different offset to the VZ and back.

You just missed one I had mentioned on here before, Kaw has just bought it.

I think you need to find out why you hve an issue above 3000rpm. Doesn't sound normal to me.

Yeah, unless the balancer is damaged thats certainly not right.
If you want an ATP balancer I have one which didnt fit mine as per Gareths comments. Its 25% underdrive, needs a 800rpm idle for charging to be ok.

What exactly does "has feed back after 3,000+rpm" mean ?

it makes no sense to me.
