Default Is it necessary to pin the crank when using the ATI dampner??

I have the 8 rib ATI dampner and pulley for my D1SC that I'm installing this weekend... Is it absolutely necessary to pin the crank with this one or can I do it a little down the road??

I wouldn't chance it, the balncer bolt can back out and allow the balancer to slip off, or worse, damage the front of your crank. I would recommend pinning the balancer with any belt driven forced induction.

Pin it and be done with it. Your crank can easily spin on any power over stock (under the right conditions).

Most kits give you a guide to assist in drilling the hole on center. If you buy the kit or borrow one, it shouldn't give you a problem.
