Man I have killed several of the stock 50oz balancers on stock engines, 2 of them slung the inertia rings off and one spun on the elastomer about 40*. All of the 50oz OEM balancers are junk, The early OEM 28oz balancers are not as bad but but I have also broke one of those in the key way on a 351w.

LOL, I am not pissed or upset by any means. I don't get wound up too easily, All I was saying is you have lived on the edge running a stock balancer and spinning it that hard. Also it was meant as a warning to others that may run one in any kind of performance application, They will fail and will sometimes kill the crank in the process. I think Dale has seen one of my dead balancers, It was the one off of my 95.

This balancer is the original to the car and I have about 220K miles on it. I have been pretty abusive, so I guess it lived a good life. I'm sure the FRPP unit is better than stock, but it's something I will keep my eye on for sure!
