Fluidampr Questions
Does this come internally balanced to the lt1? It already has a "keyway" in it correct? A place for the key to go in, i know the crank has a keyway in it but no key.
A blower pulley can still be piggybacked onto this right?

Hmmm.. his site works for me. Looks like an ATI damper - http://para.noid.org/~lj/1000hp/images/BeltOn.jpg

Both George Baxter and Madman used the ATI Super Damper with blower pullies. Both of them broke the billet hub that came with the ATI. If you are looking at a really large blower, you need to double key the crank (it can be done with the crank in the car!!) and the damper hub, and put a band around the outside of the damper hub to strengthen it. Not sure how the Fluidampr hub compares to the ATI.

I don't remember LJ every breaking that hub, but so much of his stuff is custom he may just have had a custom piece to start with. The Fluidampr doesn't have all those holes around the damper pulley - looks like maybe the ATI was made to allow a blower pulley to be bolted on?
I wouldn't wait for LJ to read this thread, I'm not sure he spends much/any time here.

I have a Fluidamper on my 383 and I only drive it in the summer.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that winter drives their car.
Reason being, Fluidampers have a fluid inside them that only provides max vibration protection when its warmed up.
There was a post last year in the Advanced Tech section from a guy that snapped his crank because he started up the car on a cold March spring morning and within 2 mins he was racing and shifting at 6000rpm.
