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.

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.
