I am also doing a cam swap with winter, and just bought an ASP pulley. I figure since we have to yank off the stock balancer anyway - I might as well upgrade it at the same time.

Well i may get flamed for this one, but I went with a Fluidamper. It is only 10% underdriven, but it is lighter and has even less rotational weight, it also supposedly dampens harmonics better through out the entire rev range rather than just at certain rpms. I have had several of them and have always had good luck with them.

Good choice man. Thats gonna sound mean as hell too, go for a low idle, chop, chop!!

Because of the extra alt strain i'm pretty oppsed to them, save a race car.
