My next step in my build, I was informed I may need to replace the balancer (with a ATI) to obtain more horse power safely. Has anyone done this and any feedback would be appreciated.

My Build:
LS99 / 521 HP - 561 Torque
Ported Throttle body
ZL1 fuel Pump
Kooks long tubes
Roto Fab CAI
No Cats
3.2 inch pully (I am at 6000ft elevation)

Car tops out at about 5800 RPMS and I start to loose HP... Plenty of Fuel

I also know that my wheels which are 20's but 10.5 wide on the back and heavy are eating some of my HP... but still looking for a bit more

How much boost are you running? If you can't safely run more boost, you need to get away from the stock L99 cam, or add meth and tune for it. Balancer won't add anything worthwhile.
