I do not have any idea how you got that idea, Fabio.
I do not even know those guys, and I have never seen their part.
Until Hammer and you posted, I had no idea they had done this 2 years ago.
Not that it matters.
For example, I did know that Greg Brown had a couple of them built for Mark and Joe Fan.
That also does not matter.
I am not taking credit for anybody's work - I don't need to do that. I worked up my own damper with assistance from ATI, just as I am sure those guys did, and just as I stated.
It's too bad this thread got dragged too far away from the product and what it does for you.

Yeah, but what if the 928 has gone to single disc? 20lbs less rotating mass in the rear and another 5-10lbs less for your racing clutch. If you wanted the mass to match the stock set up and you ran a racing clutch, the harmonic damper would have to weight over 30lbs!

Sterling, I promised you I would weigh them for you, and I did.
The stock balancer weighed 6 lb 7 oz. The 928M Super Damper for this engine weighed 7 pounds.
It is heavier, and it should be. This particular damper is for a 6.5 stroker supercharged engine.
The OEM damper is for a 5.0L NA engine.
Each Damper employs two methodologies to absorb the vibrations. Mass dampening and the elastomeric rings. The mass dampening section of this custom damper is heavier as it should be for the larger motor with the longer stroke.
Again - be careful comparing all dampers to each other, or a stock damper to a custom application-specific damper like this one.

"Or why are some Rennlist members surprised when one of the new work-out-of-their house vendors can low-ball prices against others like me with legitimate tax paying businesses?"
