The double chain eliminates the need for the dampner. I use one but I run the LS2 chain.

You don't want to use the damper with a double roller timing chain, because you will not be able to remove the timing gear if you want to change cam one day, you can but its a pain in the ***, you will haft to remove the oil pump and timing chain crank gear to get the chain passed the damper.The timing gear will not drop down far enough the remove the chain from the gear.Been there done that.
