Default Underdrive C5 Pulley

Guys,

My harmonic balancer is causing major vibration at 3000-4000 rpm looking to replace it with an underdrive pulley. Has anyone done this to the C5? And where can I get this underdrive pulley for a reasonable price?

Bought my crank under drive pulley 2 years ago from Texas Speed, then bought an alternator overdrive pulley from TByrne Motorsports for like $20-30

You can get the pulley from most vendors. Either ASP or ATI both make em. The ASP should be a little cheaper. They cost $200+. Basicaly you have to all the hard work you need to do a cam job so you might as well look into that. I broke my pulley and I when ahead and did a cam swap, oil pump, and beefier timing chain.

look at LS1howto.com and look at the heads and cam swap instructions that is what you will need to do and you will understand why I say you might as well switch the cam. Also a overdrive pulley for the altenator is not required unless you have a huge sound system.

Oh you need to get this fixed quick. If it fails it can cause significant damage to the front of the motor. I know from experience.
