2006 C6 - Harmonic balancer replacement
I bought an aftermarket from Jegs but they are all 25% under driven which will require different size belts. I didn't notice that detail when buying.
I really just wanted an aftermarket since everyone on C6 tech says GM harmonic balancers are no good on LS motors.
I didn't want to go away from stock belts (how to find correct size with Jegs balancer?). Should I just put AC Delco back on.

While I went with and ATI, the Power Bond is noted many times as being a quality unit. I do agree 100% with not putting an under drive on. I just can't understand trying to gain a few horsepower at the cost of spinning water pumps, alternators, etc. slower. When I was chatting with the performance shop that put mine on, he asked if I wanted and under drive...I said no and he said smart choice even though many want it.
