Need a new balancer, Which One do I go with?
I had a balancer issue and need a new one. I can go with OEM, Summit, ATI, et but Since my car sees the track, I am thinking aftermarket. I am looking for the best performance/ value. Summit is $180, Professional Products $200, SLP($200) or ATI ($400). Any feedback is appreciated
As always, thanks.

I would recommend going with ATI - http://www.atiracing.com/products/dampers/index.htm Check these items out - http://store.katechengines.com/ati-s...ts-v-p230.aspx & http://store.katechengines.com/bille...sioner-p2.aspx I replaced both of these items when my OEM balancer went bad.

I went with a Powerbond which I think is the same a SLP.

Actually SLP is the same as Powerbond as it's Powerbond, who is the manufacturer. SLP just resells under their name.

proven two tenths on the 1/8 mile. Well worth the money and the 3-4 hrs I spent putting it on.

About a month ago, someone posted that he needed a new balancer and his speed shop recommended just a new GM one, said the new ones were very good quality and equal to any aftermarket.
Still running on my original, so no personal experience here...
