Photobucket sucks

I spent probably 20? maybe 30? minutes with some emery cloth to open mine up a little bit, and it was still very tight! Photobucket sucks

I have been running one on a stock crank 440 for a few years now,up to 7000 rpm through the traps. I can't say if it is good or bad,but I will be buying another one. www.dunnuckracing.com

The damper failed and the Source didn't care. I have a Pioneer now and it is a much nicer looking unit all the way around. And not much more money. We'll see how it holds up. Master, again and still
