Am I missing something? Please correct me if I'm wrong, or suggestions for a quality balancer?

Are the newer $50 GM ones any good since they discontinued the old P/N 477681 $125 piece?

BHJ??

Help!

Buy the ATI and be done with it. I've had mine on the car for around 8 years. Never a problem. You don't hear of problems with ATI balancers. Use a BBC pulley and you are in business. If you go drilling the stock pulleys to fit they tend to crack and come apart. There are juist some things you don't want to cheap out on, the balancer being one of them.

I'd still box it up and ship it to SFI and ask how they could have certified this!
