Best harmonic damper?

Who makes the best harmonic balancer for a sbc that revs to 6500 rpm? I have seen a lot of cheap ones lately but I want to know if they work well. I have seen people using fluidampers or the TCI rattler and they seem good but do the cheaper ones measure up?

ATI is the best imho. you see more ATI balancers on high buck engines than any other.

ATI all the way.

Is there any specific reason why you guys favor ATI over the Rattler or fluidamper? Is the ATI super damper a good balancer from idle to 7000 rpm?
Thanks for any input.

I've had my ATI for the past 6 years and I have not had any problems with it, and I rev it to 8500 every so often.

I bought a ATI super damper today and I'll put it on tommorrow. My engine spends most of its race time between 4000-6500 so I hope this helps get a few more miles out of the bearings.
