Quality lightweight harmonic balancer?

Looking for a good quality factory diameter balancer. I just had a year old factory crank pulley explode on me. Only turning 6500 rpm or so. I’d like it as light as possible and only need the main accessory drive for the WP/Alt. Most pulleys I’m seeing are under drive which I’m not interested in and seem to be overly heavy.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

ATI has aluminum balancers, don't they? Innovators West also seems to be popular in EMC but that could be a contingency thing.

My ATI is mostly aluminum. Only the hub is steel. The IW is also a really nice piece.

ATI. I just got an underdrive of theirs and the accessory pulley is a separate bolt-on. They have mostly aluminum ones and without the accessory pulley.

I would talk to ATI about your application before you order. Sometimes light is not the best way to go. They may tell you that the harmonic damper needs a requisite amount of weight to do its job.
