Default What damper is everyone using?

I'm having a hard time justifying paying $400 for an ATI when a Jegs is SFI and $250. What are yall running?

I have ran the Jegs with zero issues on an engine that had 7200rpm shift points.

Go with the jegs, but keep in mind that damper failure can ruin your block. I plan to run the jegs but then I ask myself if the $150 savings over the ati is worth it. My only confidence is seeing others use the Jegs successfully.

On my 350 H/C and now my 383 (internal balance) I run the ATI. Very nice piece.

Don't have any experience with the JEGS or know if it is off-shore or made in USA.

Jegs is made by Powerbond in Australia and is SFI certified. I have one and it hasn't exploded yet.

I run an ATI, but I shift at 7300. If you don't need it immediately I have a BNIB Powerbond that I don't need. I'm deployed but will be home in a few weeks. PM me if interested.

ATI here. Incremental cost difference helps me sleep at night with a lighter wallet.
