ATI makes a replacement that will fit that, not sure how light it is. The one problem with that damper is you can only run a two ring weight if you still need the ac belt. They can put the 3 ring on if you ditch the AC pulley, this is best for high power engines.

They cannot control as much harmonics. I try and use a 3 ring above 800hp
