Default What aftermarket harmonic balancer do you use?

What I am looking for is a steel harmonic balancer meeting NHRA Specs that would work for high RPMs and a H/C car that has excessive runs at the drag strip. I have heard that ATI, etc. are good, but what about the SLP Underdrive Balancer? For the faster cars, what brand do you have and what experience (good.bad) do you have with your balancer?

I have ATI balancers on all of my race motors. The quality is excellent. I wouldn't buy anything else.

The Powerbond damper is well made, SFI-approved, and less expensive than the ATI.
