With all the stock balancer related horror stories out there... I didn't even bother trying the stock balancer when I went with the blower.
The balancer was my first upgrade prior to the blower install.

I've got 35+k miles on my ProCharged 2005 with zero balancer issues. Just installed a flip Drive and inspected the balancer closely and found no identifiable problems, however, I am considering changing the balancer just for peace of mind.
Any suggestions for a vendor. Thanks.

Yep i put prob 10k miles on my G8 with the procharger and i had a stock balancer fail on me. Screwed up my Gates Green Belt, split the Bypass valve vacuum line, and about cut my tranny cooler line in half.
