They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

What harmonic balancer are you guys using on your stock bottom ends? I am putting together a junkyard shortblock for my street car. Ported Perfromer RPM heads and a Novi 2000 (18 lbs of boost). I don't want to run the stock balancer as that was the cause of the last split stock block, after the balancer spun.... BOOM, lol.
I also don't want to spend ATI money for something like I have on the T-top car. I just wanted to see what everyone was using and what has worked well for you guys.

Thanks
-Nick

I like the Pioneer units personally no issues with them and they will not require any spacers to work ..

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
