There are many forces working together inside your engine that help it achieve peak performance while also working to tear your engine apart.  Every time a cylinder fires in your engine the connecting rod hammers the crankshaft which it turn twist as well as spin.  When the crankshaft twists there is always a rebound as the crank unwinds.  The twist and rebound cycle is called torsional vibration and if left unchecked it can lead to rapid bearing and crank journal wear that can eventually end with a broken crankshaft.

Fluidampr’s big block Chevy damper

Fluidampr offers a great aftermarket performance damper to protect the crank in your street or race engine.  The first question many people may have is, “Why isn’t my stock damper good enough?”  Stock dampers are tuned for maximum effectiveness with a stock rotating assembly when it’s spinning at low rpm’s. When the pistons, connecting rods, or crankshaft are changed or modified, or normal rpm range is increased, the effectiveness of a stock damper is reduced.

After you recognize the problems with a stock damper people may wonder why they should choose a Fluidampr.  Fluidampr is in a class all by itself, because it is designed to provide maximum control of all engine harmonic vibrations, regardless of the rpm at which they occur and regardless of the crankshaft’s natural frequency. This translates to maximum protection of the crank, main bearings, related engine components and more consistent power output.

Fluidampr even offers dampers for your diesel like this one for GM 6.6L Duramax applications

Fluidampr is made is the USA which leads to a great quality damper that is maintenance and repair free.  They cover a wide range of frequently asked questions on their website including general questions, fit-up and usage questions, Streetdampr questions, and the difference between internally and externally balanced engines.  Do your engine’s crankshaft a favor and check out the original Fluidampr for all your aftermarket performance damper needs.
