Harmonic balancer replacement
I have a ls2 with a a&a supercharger with a 6 rib pulley ...I am in the middle of a cam swap, also changing the valve springs, injectors ,fuel rails and going to flex fuel...while I have everything apart I might as well change the harmonic balancer cause I’m at 45 thousand miles and it’s all apart .
should I just do a replacement? Or under - overdrive leaning towards ati but which one do you guys recommend?

definitely replace it with an upgraded one (not factory). do the 10% overdrive 8 rib .... that way you'll be ready to go 8 rib set up in the future if you choose to. You're going to need it retuned anyway, might as well have them tune it for the 10% OD. you'll add boost without spending any more money since you're already replacing the HB. more boost = more power ......

Just get the Powerbond replacement standard diameter. Cheap and functional. Make sure to pin it to the crank.
8-rib is a good option while you’re at it (in which case you’d prob need ATI balancer which is more $$) but you’ll need to replace all your accessory pulleys too (more $$)
idk why you need to do 10% OD for more boost you can just pulley down on your blower. Read of up on pros and cons of OD/UD balancers before getting one.
