Judging by the 5,000 prior posts I've seen, I'd definitely say either one. oke:

I have used the Innovators West on multiple customer cars with great success.

We used the 10% OD on almost all of the Texas Mile cars. I have it available with a Gates Heavy Duty Green Belt as well.

We've used both units on a few GT500's that we've done projects on and both have worked great. The IW balancer comes with a new bolt (which is required when you swap balancers) where the ATI you need to purchase it separately. We stock both brands here so we can get them out same day when ordered. :beer:

IW 10% Balancer Alone
Innovators West 07-09 Shelby GT500 10% Overdrive Balancer

IW 10% Balancer with Belt
Innovators West 07-09 Shelby GT500 10% Overdrive Balancer w/Belt

ATI 15% (10% is a special order through ATI as it has to be specially machined)
ATI Shelby GT500 15% Overdrive Harmonic Balancer

Let us know if you have any questions :thumbsup:

You know, I remember questioning that too when I read the article. It took out the whole engine.

It was the IW that failed. I just had the ATI installed on my 07 and I'm very pleased w/ the power.

 

[99cobraUgotbit]

I remember reading about the IW failing before on a couple of different occasions. I bet if you did a quick search it would pull up easily

 

[96cobracoupe]

Yea if they would have said it was the IW they would never sell one again

We had an IW balancer when the engine failed, but we DO NOT know what cause the engine to fail, so to blame it on the balancer is not fair. On the pass when the engine broke, it was on a launch where the car snapped an axle, broke the diff as well as a slew of other parts which really sent a shock through the whole engine. We have been using the IW on the 2010 GT500 for a few years now and it's been great, I believe we also had one on the 2008 when we sold it. I think one of the issues we had was not related to the balancer, but was related to having a big blower with only a single keyed balancer, kind of our fault on that one.

I have the ATI with no problem so far, I did get my crank double keyed and would not launch hard without.

Gotcha. I'd have to re-read the article, but I recall it sounding like the balancer failed on the dyno. Then in the next segment of the article, the author said something along the lines of "good opportunity to do a rebuild due to the engine damage." Just inferences as to what happened, so it really was unclear.

 

[Van@RevanRacing]

Innovators West Tested and approved over 220 MPH.

They are both good quality pieces (IW & ATI) and both are SFI approved.

 

[96cobracoupe]

It said in the article the balancer failed

 

[07 Black Beauty]

It said in the article the balancer failed

For what its worth the Performance Shop that did my install only recommends the ATI balancer after some issues w/ the IW balancer.

FWIW, Ford Racing went from using IW to ATI on the Cobra Jets a few yeas ago now.

 

[96cobracoupe]

Yea I made up my mind I'm going with the ATI!!!

Thanks.
