Innovators West. Quite possibility the best balancer out there, and certainly the best customer service. They're pricey, but well worth it, IMHO.

ATI with and ARP bolt.


Pricey, but done and over with. Nice knowing I will never deal with this issue again with these parts.

Summit Racing
Trick Flow Track Max TFS-19005
$189.97 +free shipping
GM OEM bolt ~$6.00 (Why use a $30 ARP bolt if you never have to replace it again?)

Will be taking on this project this weekend.

Great thread, I just picked up another C6, this one a 2005.

Crank pulley was swapped October 2015 by the GM dealer, I drove it back from the car hauler (from FL) and didn't feel it was safe to drive.

On my list of replacement next week.

Anyone with experience is the ATI worth the premium price over the powerbond ? Car is strictly weekend toy, Just looking for a stock replacement that I will not have to replace again in 40k. Car is 2011 Base Coupe M6.

I can't say about 40k miles later but so far the Powerbond pulley has lasted longer than the other GM balancers that it replaced.
