• Lightweight Aluminum Construction: Offers excellent strength while reducing overall engine weight, contributing to better fuel efficiency and handling.
• Six Groove Design: Accommodates multiple accessory belts, making it compatible with a variety of engine setups.
• 10 Percent Underdrive Ratio: Slows down accessory components like alternators and water pumps, reducing parasitic drag and improving engine power output.
• Three-Ring Vibration Dampening: Enhances the damper’s ability to absorb torsional vibrations, protecting your crankshaft and extending engine life.
• Specifically Designed for No A/C Applications: Ideal for vehicles without air conditioning, ensuring proper belt alignment and tension.
• Fits F & V Body Vehicles: Tailored to match the unique requirements of these classic muscle cars, maintaining authenticity and performance.

Understanding the importance of a harmonic balancer or damper can be complex, but the ATI Damper simplifies this with its advanced yet user-friendly design. The damper’s primary role is to absorb the twisting forces generated by the engine’s crankshaft during operation. Without a quality damper, these forces can cause vibrations that lead to crankshaft fatigue and eventual failure. The ATI Damper’s three-ring system works like a shock absorber, smoothing out these vibrations to keep your engine running quietly and efficiently.

Additionally, the 10 percent underdrive feature is a practical advantage for performance enthusiasts. By slightly reducing the speed of engine accessories, it lowers the load on the engine, freeing up horsepower and improving throttle response. This means your vehicle not only runs smoother but also delivers better acceleration and fuel economy.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, this damper reduces unnecessary weight on the front of your engine, which can improve overall vehicle balance and handling. The six grooves provide versatility, allowing you to run multiple belts for accessories such as power steering pumps or alternators without compromising belt alignment or tension.

Whether you’re restoring a classic F or V body muscle car or upgrading your LS1/LS2 engine for better performance, the ATI Damper ATI917277 offers a reliable, high-quality solution. Its precise engineering and durable materials ensure long-lasting performance, protecting your investment and enhancing your driving experience.

Choose the ATI Damper for a perfect blend of durability, performance, and compatibility. It’s more than just a part—it’s a vital upgrade that keeps your engine running smoothly and efficiently mile after mile.
