ATI Super Damper Harmonic Balancer

After watching too many boosted boiz videos I noticed they use the "ATI Super Damper Harmonic Balancer" on all their higher HP cars. I was wondering if we had that or if it was something we even cared about. So I emailed ATI. I was curious how this worked with the balance shaft being deleted and if it was worth looking into for higher hp builds to increase engine longevity. This was their response.

"Nothing for that platform. The balance shafts take shake out of the motor like a wheel weight takes it out of a rim. The damper takes out the harmonics which is different. We haven’t had anyone call on these engines before, if you can get a group of people interested this is something we might look into.

So if anyone is interested in digging deeper into this or has more knowledge on this just let me know. I would think that the people who are trying to break records and want every little benefit they can would want to look into this.

 

What would cost be for one of these?

 

They did not say anything about pricing, it looks like the average is around 400$ but I have no idea what it would be for us. I am sure this is something that very few would need or want but when you are chasing those numbers every little thing makes a difference. I don't have any evidence that this is needed for our platform or will be helpful it is just something I was looking into.

although most of the 2jz, rb , and even subies get the support from them,. wondering how will it effect guys with keyed crank already...
