Default Has any one installed a timing pointer?

Has anyone installed a timing pointer on an LS3 after installing a degreed balancer? I have a stock ls3 with bolt ons. I am going to install a degreed Powerbond balancer and would like to also install a pointer just to have the ability to double check the ecm in the event I later on do some heavier mods .

I clocked my balancer relative to TDC so I could install a pointer later, because why not.

EXACTLY ! Gm bean counters did not jetway these cranks( stupid!), so if you’re installing a degreed balancer , then why not. But aside from that, who makes a pointer or do I have to fab one up myself.
