Yes, if you're staying externally balanced, if you're internal then get a neutral balancer

this is a direct replacement for a stock gen vi. If your doing a full custom rotating assembly it may change. I would talk with bullder.

depending on the build and balance --- 1 ATI balancers and then Power bond balancers by Dayco or vise versa. I believe dayco bought powerbond

Yea, I’ve already had it internally balanced when the shop put the shortblock together. That one just looks so much nicer though. Lol

The powerbond ones are on my engines and Icdedppl's. They are a nice piece for the money. In your case, I'd go with those. Nice upgrade over the stock GM balancer. I had mine spun balanced and weight checked, and they were basically dead nuts to the GM ones I was replacing. Being a counterweighted unit, I didnt want to just bolt it on and go, so I paid to have them checked before install.

Of course ATI and Fluidampers are a step above, hard to go wrong with either of them.

Man if you are leaking any oil on to your stock balancers it seems overtime to cause an issue with a spun section and or the rubber will start coming apart.

Fluidamper used on every build for 30years must paint light even coat. if balancing damper must be removed from hub when balancing.

I've got two tci neutrality balanced I'd sell but it sounds like your staying externally balanced. The powerbond ones are what I'd be looking at if I were you. Nice proven piece and good price.
