Message	I'm less concerned about the NVH and more concerned about the loss of dampening in the drivetrain; especially the crankshaft. Personally, I favor supporting the balance of the engine and the support a dampener is meant to provide over the gains of a lighter dampener with no ability to help support an engine's balance. If I ever make the switch, it would be to a better dampener; like an ATI. Zeus
