Re: IML: Question about harmonic damper

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

True enough, but certainly not necessary. I don't think you will notice 
any difference at all. Just buy the one that makes you happy. If we 
can't do that, there isn't much point to any of this.

Thanks Paul,

I am still not sure what to do, both dampers on the link I provided (the
first and second damper on that page) are SFI approved so I am sure they
will be premium quality.
But for only $10 more or so, I will have me a fluid damper that softens
vibrations on a much broader rpm range.

So what should I do????
