Default Let beat an old horse

It look like I need to replace my harmonic balancer, so here the question, what the best product for the situation, don’t really race, drive two to three day out of the week, like to gun it every once and a while. Should I pin or not. I have read the most of the posting on the forum, but none seem to answer this question. There are a lot smart member here I learn to value the opinions.
thanks

Stock replacement without pinning should be fine for your intended usage. I just had mine replaced at the dealer with the GM part.

I've got an underdrive pulley, $300 and I installed during my H/C swap. Had to change out all belts too. I did not pin and its fine.

without a doubt, upgrade to 25% ASP underdrive pulley. Dont put a crap stocker back on.

No need to pin it either.

Why not pin as long as you're in there ???

CHEAP, EASY Insurance. And you never know what changes you'll make down the road.
