Default What Damper/Pulley. Stock vs Aftermarket

I need to find a damper asap for my build but don't know much about them and where the best ones are..

ATI has lots that seem REALLY high..

SLP also has some that are cheaper but I don't want to get something thats not going to hold up


What is everyone running on theirs and any recommendations what I should look into for mine?

Skoalbandit runs a slp
Hammer runs a keyed slp
Mhotrodscooter runs a slp

I like SLP a lot, a tad heavier but beefy for higher rpms

Its not really a dampener since LS engines are internally balanced, its more or less soley a pulley. I use the stock one.

so you think otherwise?





Its for a built/stroked 6.2 so if I really dont need it.. then great..


but if theres even a doubt, im getting one.. I dont want to cheap out when I've put so much (at least in my eyes) money into it thus far..
