The BHJ balancer was $677.50 from BHJ and $535 from Nitemare. They only offer the slip fit balancer as a special order. (you should be using a press fit anyway)
Skipfix&Dragncar...I spoke with BHJ out in California and he gave me Darrins # at Nitemare. I spoke to Darrin and BHJ definitely seems like the way to go, especially if you're planning to have AC.
Does any other tool work for installing the balancer or do you have to use the Moroso tool?
According to Darrin, "Powerbond ,Romac and Prorace are all offshore balancers".

You don't have to use the Moroso tool. I used the harbor freight copy on my BHJ that I got from Nitemare and it worked fine.
Definitely measure your crank snout and the balancer. I want to say that Darrin wanted around .007 interference fit on this. On my stock 455 crank, I didn't need to have the balancer honed. If you have an eagle crank, you may need to do so.
