In all fairness, most racing is not a good example for use of harmonic 
dampener. A street engine spends a lot more time moving through the 4000 RPM point, 
(if enthuiastically driven) than a race motor. Most race motors are driven 
hard - but not for many miles/hours. NASCAR is an exception, but few Corvairs are 
running NASCAR these days. For a performance street motor, I still recommend 
a good harmonic dampener. After all, aren't you building the last street motor 
you will ever need? (Or, at least you think you are?)  Now, for a low 
performance stocker, a pulley is probably okay.- Seth Emerson
