Default Underdrive or stock balancer

Hi new V1 owner here, the stock balancer on my '06 LS2 has some decent wobble to it causing the belts to squeal at times so a new one will be on the way soon. I was looking at the Powerbond kit with 25% underdrive and ARP bolt or just a stock replacment. The car will not see much racing, I had a 25% underdrive on a f-body car for years with no problems just wasn't sure about the Caddy electrical ect. If I am in there might as well upgrade it. I looked at several vette posts with LS2s and no problems there not as much on the V page.

Ud or not, anything is better than the stock balancer. I've seen brand new ones wobbling. I was about to install a stock one to replace my failed one, but even the rubber innards were not fully centered.

I'm pretty happy with my fluidampr. It's regular diameter tho. With all the electronics in our cars i didn't want to risk having electrical or charging issues for just a few ponies you probably won't even feel.

i bought a blemish ATI on ebay that actually had a 4% overdrive on the A/C portion. i didn't want to run an underdrive because i feel there's no reason to.

i have yet to install it.
