Default Harmonic balancer/crank pulley

I can't find the previous thread I was reading. Can someone please tell me what our favored balancer/crank pulley is for street use? Thanks!!

Cant beat the quality of an ATI Super Damper, plus they're rebuild-able if you plan to hang onto the car for a while.. Whatever you decide to get make sure you pin the crank. My OEM balancer spun on the crank to the point were i almost had to junk the crank when i rebuilt the engine.

Ati is definitely a good balancer / I used a trick flow hand forged 18.1 sfi rated . Ati was my 1st choice . The pulley from AA corvette was better priced with the same rating ! I would assume ati also has a slot to pin the crank if need to be lots of balancer out there the choices. Opinion pick up the right pulley set up for your car . I also used the stock size pulley !
