Fluidamper Lt1
 
What do u guys think of this fluidamper thing. Think it would be worth any Hp? Or is it just something to get if u turn high rpms?

Well if it means anything to you, I have read accounts that the company went bankrupt and the product manufacturing has changed hands.

I own one and I can tell you that when it's cold, it shakes like a guy left too long in a beer cooler. It takes too long to warm up (for my patience) to start driving.

I think you would be better off with something like an ATI unit. Perhaps like this one:

I really like the Fluidampr. The ATI is what I reccomend for applications that regularly see >6,500rpm. For those that don't, the FD offers superior damping.

So what exactly is the difference between the two?

It's there to reduce cyclic twist and the resulting fatigue on the crank. It extends crank life. Any difference in HP would be immeasurable.

Thats what i was thinking, cause they said it will add Hp but that could mean anything lol. Thanks again.
