Default Harmonic balancer upgrade? (ls2)
My toy has a bad harmonic balancer that I'm getting replaced. I'm running a supercharger. Is there a balancer that will hold up better to the extra torque from the supercharger than the stocker?

Thanks.

I have the ATI Balancer on my Supercharged C6. Works Great, No Problems!

Summit C2501 here, supercharged with meth and headers. its got a great SFI rating and its about half the cost as an ATI, but if you have the money get the ATI.

ATI all the way, since the outer pulley and inner hub are bolted together, and can take the added torque of the Supercharger without causing problems to the HB.

Anyone know any sponsors here on the forum off the bat? Rather give someone here the credit than a random google website.

If upgrading we suggest the ATI
If your wanting to go to a OD setup IW makes a great product also.

Boosted with stock size ATI - as mentioned, the ring and hub are bolted together.
