Default Power Bond Harmonic balancer

I have had the PowerBond SS10 installed on my 07 Corvette and I wish the product had links or part numbers for the smaller belts necessary for the installation.

Did I make a mistake with this balanceer since I am seeing people talking about under charging from the alternator.

And if you ever decide to install a supercharger on the engine, you certainly don't want an underdrive harmonic balancer, since it will slow the speed that the supercharger turns.

If it does turn out to be a problem, turn your engine idle speed up 10% and you're back where you started. I have the Powerbond 10% under pulley on my Vette. It was done at the same time I did heads and cam. My idle is turned up a little higher than stock. 750 rpm if memory serves. No problems here. And yeah, one of the reasons I went 10 under is so I WOULDN'T be tempted to add a supercharger.

Yes, you made a mistake installing this under drive balancer. There is no reason to put an under drive balancer on almost any car especially a street driven car.

Put on a stock size Power Bond and won't have any problem.

Mine has been running perfectly for +/- 40,000 miles. What issues should I be looking for?
