I only had the three you have holding mine on. When I uninstalled it, one of the bolts was broken. When I put it back on, I will see if I can add more support. I was running about 14psi and would like to go up to about 20psi. If you stay under 10psi I bet it would hold just fine but once you start hitting more boost you have to keep that belt nice and tight which adds to the stress on those bolts holding the pulley. Just mho.

For a proper install of the Hub to balancer, the balancer its self will need drilled out, as well as the hub. The reason for drilling is the balancer is no longer drilled from ATI. We have drilled every balancer with no issues.
Not trying to be a smart *** here but I would like some clarification.
balancer= harmonic damper?
You're referring to the hub and "balancer" as seperate pieces do you mean breaking the ATI piece apart for this? OR are you referrign to he supercharger drive pulley and the ATI damper assembly?
Seems like there is a regional split on what some parts get called and this confuses me at times.

The outer ring = balancer
Hub = piece bolted onto balancer that slides onto crank snout.

How hard is it to seperate the front piece and back piece of the damper? Thanks!

I have yet to see a single balancer failure due to this, no odd vibrations , just nothing.

The three bolts thread all the way through to the A/C pulley on the back are you saying doing this is a problem? The other 6-T45's or what ever size I can't remember for sure just hold the outer ring to the hub. The balancer comes with the smaller 3 bolts so I replaced them with the 3/8 bolts that are for the S/C pulley so I just rotated the A/C pulley around to thread the bolts all the way through outer ring and the A/C pulley. Is there a problem with this is that what you are saying?

The 6 pan bolts are required to hold the shell onto the hub. you will be rotating the AC mounting to the new holes and have the bolts go through them. The old holes are tapped out to 3/8s for the new ATI bolts.
