Default SC: Upgrading Harmonic Damper

For the last 3 years I've been running my Z06 (ECS Novi 1500 6 rib) with a new (at the time) OEM damper. I plan on road tripping the car a lot this summer, and the only piece that I don't trust is the OEM damper. At this time I don't need the ECS direct drive kit, so I am looking at replacement single piece dampers.

So far Summit seems to have the best bang for your buck.

Has anyone used this damper? Reviews are great.

From what I found, its the same size (7.5") as the OEM damper. I don't want to change any boost levels or rpms that I am spinning the blower at.

I've been using that one for about 4 years now. Works great with no issues. For the price it can't be beat.

#7 ring lands gone between oil and second rings. Top was still intact so it ran but pushed oil mist out breathers. New motor time! Fighting budging disk in low back so no work for last 5 weeks. Injections last week helped me move again. Will finish assymbly of short block. Clean engine bay and drop it in. Hope to be working it this weekend. Here is shot of piston.
