I had the ASP pulley and now I have the ATI. The ATI Super Damper is a much better piece than the ASP but it is more expensive. The ATI piece is slotted for a woodruff key and the ASP is not.

The bore of the damper is slotted and the nose of the crankshaft is slotted, you put the woodruff key or a square key in the slot on the crankshaft and line up the slot in the damper and push it on the crank, the key positively keeps the damper from being able to spin on the crankshaft.

Thanks.
