Engine Rattle-Tapping Fix!!!

Problems: Rattle at idle. Sounded like lifters, coming from the passenger side. 1st gear hard acceleration had a tapping noise, again passenger side. Vibration at 6000+ RPMS.

Problem fixed: Went to Detroit Tuned. Chad put on a 2% Light weight flywheel replacing the bad "Harmonic balancer" then added a 15% supercharger pulley. No more tapping, rattling or vibration, just more HP!! THANK YOU CHAD!!!!!!!!

Good stuff! Does it pull pretty good! Glade to see more and more people adding the crank pulley, now we need more reliability data to make sure the crank pulley is worth it! The wait is killing me!

All I have is an intake, 2% Flywheel and 15% pully. She pulls plenty good for me. At least for awhile that is, then I'm sure I will need more.
