Default Harmonic Balancer

Hi Everyone,
I need to replace my Harmonic Balancer on my C6 LS2. What aftermarket Balancer would you recommend? And where to buy it?
The car is not supercharged or tracked.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.👍

I got mine done at Champion, they installed a Power Bond Balancer #PBB1117-SS plus the bolts and seal.

I replaced my wobbly C5 GM balancer(myself) with A $100 (approx) Powerbond OEM balancer, and ARP bolt. Not satisfied with the Powerbond, still had some wobble. If I were to do it again, I would use an ATI or the higher end Powerbond. This is a labour intensive job, not the time to scrimp on parts.

Just my 2 cents...

I picked out a Powerbond LS7 Race PB1503SS. It was ~$300USD from RockAuto. Saved ~$140 over an ATI.
They have good reviews, SFI rated, and looks well build. Haven't fired the engine yet, but any vibration will probably be from the TSP Stage 3.2 cam!

I put a PowerBond in the C5 many moons ago. No issues with it.

I picked up a powerbond balancer from A&A Auto in Hamilton that was cheaper than most online places. They had it in stock too. Might be worth a call.
