I can't tell by looking at it, but you can when you put the timing light on it.
My Romac has two lines lasered on the front, one on the hub the other on the ring. If they're not lined up it's slipped.

I have an ATI on my hemi and a Fluidamper on my wedge. No problems with either one. I had a BHJ once, it slipped not long after I put it on. CHIP

would that make the BHJ a Big Hunka Junk
ATI makes a great product but they are a little pricey. there are other dampers out there that will do the job and hold up just fine for the average street/strip/bracket racer.

Both the ATI Super damper and the TCI Rattler seem good.
Will they work with the stock timing cover?
I also need to use the stock pulley for my alternator.
Any problems with this?
I'm getting mixed answers from their tech lines.

p.s. the Romac that came off said SFI 18.1 It is a two piece unit that has spun.

The ATI and the Fluidamper that I have are both on motors with stock timing covers. CHIP

ROMAC has an indexing line from the inner to outer shell, have you checked it? Also your front pulley hasnt been pulled up hard on the outer rting at all has it?? I have been using ROMAC exsclusivly for over 15 yrs an am yet to have see any problems, IMO you should be looking at wot cause its failure. FWIW I have used them on almost every racing application, DIRT CARS, DRAGS, CIRCUIT, ROAD & BOATS ALSO ROMAC is SFI & its all but impossible for the outer ring to come off.
