My car may never see a track but I want something I don't have to worry about too much if I want to bang through a couple gears on the street. I've always ran ATI Super Dampers but there's no way I can afford that right now. I don't have to have SFI but here is an SFI example for $124.99 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-Dodge-383-...=item335c20840b Summit has a Professional Products PowerForce for $82 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pfs-80013/overview/make/dodge Some others such as Summit brand, Pioneer, etc... http://www.summitracing.com/search/part-...p;SortOrder=Asc Mancini Pro-Street for $111 http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/prostreet1.html 440Source for $90 http://store.440source.com/High-Strength-Steel-Damper-Chrome-plated-New/productinfo/200-1083/ 1970 Challenger, all aluminum 528 Hemi, HDK suspension, Tremec 5 speed manual

To me the 440 source and the Pioneer look the best and I would pick one of the 2. Nautilus Racing- We use Superformance gaskets and Turbo Action converters/products.

I was waiting to hear if anyone has ran that one as it is VERY affordable. I would think it would be fine for a street cruiser. 1970 Challenger, all aluminum 528 Hemi, HDK suspension, Tremec 5 speed manual
