Whos using ATI Super Damper

PN 917271 is what I plan on going with.

Is there any other better options?

I know the BHJ is supposed to be a nice piece, but it's $100 more than the ATI and whats to say its actually "better".

Im running one of those, really well built. Just get a good installer for it since it is a very tight fit.

I picked up a used one for a good price, bought a rebuild o-ring kit from ATI and plan on running it on my 355 but have no experience with using one before.

You are supposed to finish hone the ATI for proper fit. They build them too tight on purpose in order to make up for crankshaft variations (according to ATI rep I spoke to @ SEMA). Good dampers, I have a lot of experience with them and they hold up where others break.

I'd be afraid of screwing it up by honing too much.

This is because it is the entire dampener, not just an add on pulley.

It is also an SFI approved part.

These are my first choice for my performance builds.

I am using one, I had to buy a new hub due to the EFI 24X and having a 93, when I priced it versus say a complete hub and pulley from Jegs, I ended up going with the ATI. It's a really nice part.

I am using a Powerbond. I like it but I am not running high RPM in my bolt on car. It is 10% underdrive and SFI Approved.
