crank pulley/dampener

Looking to upgrade and do some preventative maintenance and thinking I may do the crank pulley. Wondering what the pros and cons are for going with the OEM, solid style, or an aftermarket dampened pulley like the ATI or fluid filled. Car isn't tracked, just doing some upgrading for more power and fun on a daily driver that sees about 20-25 miles a day. Thanks for the info in advance.

I sell both and can tell you go with the ATI Damper. It is a much higher quality, and also dampens better than both the Stock and fluid damper.

If you want a ton of info about ATI inertia dampers verses fluid damper just google that and a million threads come up. You'll find the ATI wins. Also the RSR race team use to use the fluid dampers, and switched to the ATI. I also use the ATI on my race car and street car.

Thanks Way, I just ordered a tensioner stop and some coolant bleeder screws from you and gettin ready to order the tsw upper engine mount before the end of the month. I probably will go with the ATI but not ready to spend 400 on the pulley yet. Gettin ready to install it 17% pulley and the other stuff before doing the dampener pulley. Thanks for the info again

Also I would love to drop off my car with you and let you have your "WAY" with it but im pretty sure my wife would no longer allow me back home, so I'm just gonna have to take it one mod at a time.
