Headquartered in Dawsonville, Ga. and founded in 1993, MTI Racing has a tremendous personal commitment to building the very best quality performance products. Each member of the MTI staff contributes with backgrounds in engineering, fabrication, professional racing, and expert troubleshooting.  Led by former World Challenge racer Reese Cox, MTI Racing has grown rapidly by leveraging his advancing race technology. Reese's involvement in the Corvette Challenge Series paved the way to becoming team manager for Tommy Morrison Racing, preparing the team's ZR-1 Corvettes for the 24 HRS Of Daytona. While acting as crew chief and engineer in the IMSA Invitational GT Series, Reese and crew clinched a SCCA GT-1 National Championship with GM engineer/pro driver John Heinricy. Reese's attention to detail soon opened doors to work with a number of notable pro road racing teams and pro drivers such as Johnny Rutherford, Tommy Kendall, Andy Pilgrim, and Boris Said. Nowhere else in the “tuner” market are you going to find this level of experience, both on the track, and off, as you will find with MTI Racing.

Harmonic Balancer

 

What is a harmonic balancer?

The harmonic balancer (also called crankshaft damper) is a round metal and rubber disc that works as a damper to absorb vibration caused torsional crankshaft harmonics and resonance from the engine as each cylinder fires.

 

Are aftermarket harmonic balancers worth it?

Yes. OEM harmonic balancers are designed specifically for the level of vibration caused by a stock, factory engine. As you add horsepower, the harmonics and resonance change, and the OEM harmonic balancer simply cannot provide the same level of damping. Increasing horsepower without adding an upgraded harmonic balancer will cause premature wear and failure of the damper, as well as putting more wear on your engine.
