SFI Damper

For my turbo build, I'm on a budget so I'm looking at these three Speed Inc. dampers. Their all roughly the same price, does anyone have any bad experiences with these on high HP builds (800-1000 WHP)? Any idea which of the three is the best product?

You really can't beat the ATI dampner. It is more expensive, but the quality is much better. I bought a cheaper one the first time around and now buying the ATI has cost me the 175 I paid plus the cost of the ATI makes it a expensive piece. If I would have bought it the first time around it would be cheaper.

Yeah it really seems to be the best available option, wish I could afford one. I talked to Speed Inc and of the ones I posted they recommend the Powebond, anyone have good/bad experience with them?

I debated a cheap one and just couldnt do it with so many mixed reviews. Went on ebay and got a new blem ati from ati for $220 shipped. Ac pulley and all.
The blem is a scratch on the hub drilled holes.......

Thanks for the tip! Just searched Ebay and they have some available for $220, they are all 10% under drive though. I planned to run a stock diameter damper though.

is there any reason I shouldn't run a 10% UD damper on a turbo motor?

is any other hardware needed (you mentioned an AC pulley?)

Mine is a stock size. I didn't wanna go to the 10% U/D since I would like my cooling system working 100%. But I also ended up buying vette accessories for my swap. They had vette ones available.
