Default Aftermarket Balancer - SFI rated

I am probably going with another Innovators West as I like that they are keyed. Dayco also offers an SFI rated Powderbond in a great price range.

What else is out there to be recommended with SFI rating? It will be going on a car with a target shift point of 6500 but which can absolutely shift above 7k if the cam/airflow supports it. Likewise, it will see approx 550 rw in tame mode most of the time but then can either be turned up and/or see demands from various forms of car abuse including track days to airfield runs or mexico rolls to mile or top speed events - even burnouts and ice cream.

Fluidamper meets SFI 18.1.
It can be dual keyed, but you may need to reach out to them.
Mine was installed with an ARP crank bolt.

The Summit is as good as anyone's and the price is the best too.

Many in the Corvette field recommend these.

Also make sure to pin the balance no matter what one you use.

18.1 SFI and good to 12,500 RPM so it will surpass anything you may ever see.

I see it is. $208 right now

Yeah the Summit C2501 is the best bang for the buck SFI balancer. Ran one on my car for the last 5 years and it's been flawless at 7k shifts REGULARLY

One detail to add which I should have mentioned is my crank is machined for dual keys and currently runs a single key. No need to pin whatever is new if I select one to work with the key which I believe is 3/16
