ATI is probably the best. I went with Powerbond do to the price and reputation. The SLP and the TSP are made by Powerbond. TSP had the best price when I was shopping for one and that is why I bought theirs.

Ati is worth the price.. If you can't afford it though, powerbond/slp Will do.

You won't find anybody saying, buy this UD because it makes more RWHP so it is better.

An ATI isn't better because it makes 5Rwhp and an SLP makes 3Rwhp. It is better because it does what it is designed to do better.

There is a reason that almost every single engine builder on this site sticks an ATI on the front. When is the last time you saw a high dollar build use something other than an ATI?

ATI is only a 10% UD while Powerbond is a 10% or a 25%. ATI does what it was designed to do better though, so it is the superior product.

We recommend and install powerbond here (also run them on our own vehicles). Great product and price. Yes the corvette dampers are different than the f-bodies so be careful with that.
