I usually use some skim, very thin coat of RTV to adhere it to the balancer as it holds better than just the adhesive that comes with the tape, fyi. Good luck

Long enough to set it. (good thing I picked up two of them) Mine was only 5.25 in diameter.... Its Jammin now!

It's equivalent to beating on your pistons, rings, & bearings with a sledge hammer.

I got it running pretty good. No ping, No detonation..... Feels good at all speeds and burns the rubber :-) I think I can squeeze a weee bit more out of it, but I'll get to that later.
Thanks for all the input!
