Honestly I don't even get why people change their crank pulleys. Unless you're building some 9000rpm high rev/NA screamer, pushing the rotating assembly to its absolute limit, the OEM pulley should suffice.

By no means am I saying the Fluidampr will cause failure, I don't think it will, I'm just wondering if the OE damper is the better long-term solution for a track/race-only car (assuming it is also replaced as needed to ensure optimum performance)......that answer isn't easy to get, but certainly an educated decision can be made if the information can be accurately waded through. I know the fluid dampers have a longer service life, I don't care about that, as I would be fine replacing a $100 damper every few years.
This is where help from Fluidampr would be very nice. If they simply confirmed that the level of high frequency vibration from their damper is still nothing to worry about, compared to OE, and that the bigger benefit is from controlling the ignition/harmonic vibrations in the lower frequencies still applies to a race car, then I could live with it. I'm waiting for an answer from them....lol
