Innovators West makes a nice 8-rib overdrive balancer. Will allow a slightly larger blower pulley for a particular boost level reducing belt slip even further.

As far as upgrades for your p1sc, you could send it back to procharger and get it upgraded to D1sc status.

FYI, I made 23 psi on a 346 with the D1sc with no belt slip using the innovators balancer, reichard blower pulley and a gates HD green back belt.

I don't think they have one for the F Body. The ProCharger C5 and C6 version runs the blower off of the main belt, where the F Body runs a pulley ahead of the balancer. The Innovators West balancers wouldn't do you any good on a F Body. Bob

Question

I'd like to see a side view of that balancer, as they would have to have the balancer with the rear for the accessories, plus an eight rib pulley on the front, if it is for a ProCharger. Bob

Sure it may bolt up, but that is more expensive than the ATI Damper with no gain. Since the F-Body doesn't need an over drive on the main accessories. Also that is an 8 rib drive for the accessories which he does not need, that would only cause problems with aligning the blower with the extra width.

I agree, I couldn't see why it was being mentioned for ProCharger use. Bob

Oh, yea. I'm not too hip on the F-body stuff. My bad.

...and for those asking, I was spinning the D1sc 65k rpm with zero issues. You can sometimes find reichard pulley forsale on here or ebay. Otherwise, if you want a new one you'll have to call them. If you have to call reichard....good luck and be patient. They don't have the best customer service.

Depending on what size your looking for I have an 8-rib one that is stamped 3.5". It actually measures 3.54". I bought it new from reichard earlier this year and it has about 15 track passes on it, zero street miles and it has seen only one belt. If your interested let me know.

still no clear answer. I called innovators, but I want to hear from a real world application. I don't think people considered this dampner due to the ati msrp

How can the Innovators West balancer help you out with an F Body when you still have to bolt the ProCharger 7.65 crank pulley to the balancer? You don't want to overdrive the accessories that are run off of the rear of this balancer. Bob

here are some pics, what bolts are used. Also anyone have some pics of an ati setup. I want to see the clearance between the dampner and the supercharger crank pulley.
