Thanks!


You can do anything you want if you're willing to pay for it. I don't know if the FAST guys have to use a factory damper or not but if they do then they would have to factor that into the engine build. Personally I'd ditch the factory stuff but if you're trying to keep the engine looking stock then you'll just have to do what you have to do. I think putting a 50 year old damper on a stroker engine is pulling the pin on a grenade.
