Do you plan on keying or pinning the crank balancer yet? I know the Powerbond underdrives have a key drive machined into the hub. Not too sure about the ATI super dampers though.

I only say this because the balancer is press fit/interference fit on the crankshaft, high loads can cause the balancer to spin on the crank. And you don't want that. Mine came loose on my NA LS2 last year. Lucky I caught it before it caused significant damage, as it only tore two ribs off the main belt and flicked the AC belt off. For the price of a keyway or pin kit, it's worth it considering the possible damage the balancer could do flying off. You can even do both (key and pin), but mostly from what I've read, pinning all the way through the balancer and crank works the best. I've read also that some chose to pin from the front too.

Though, when my balancer came loose, I got a genuine GM crank bolt, genuine GM main and AC belt tensioners, Nuline pulley kit and Goodyear Gatorback belts. I did order a front pin kit, but my balancer hasn't come loose again since.

No plans, as its turbo charged and not supercharged there shouldn't be any more stress on the balancer, Unlucky that your LS2 Slipped but i could only get this on by heading it up and winding it on with a threaded rod and washers,

Will defiantly keep an eye on it though :)

Your wastegates are 44mm ;)
Good pickup i couldn't remember haha
