Romac is the manufacturer for the Powerforce line of dampers which both of these are (just different packaging). The Powerforce is considered a stock replacement damper.
Romac also make an SFI-approved billet steel (and a steel hub with an aluminum ring) damper but they cost three times as much.
In a street application, neither works better than the other, other than the hit on your wallet. It's just that certain drag racing classes (like Super Stock) will require the SFI certificate to pass tech. If you continually operate the engine over the 6,500 rpm threshold, then you'd want the higher end damper. And it's not like the damper is going to explode if you hit 6,501 rpm. There is a bit of safety margin in the rating.
Most retail sellers price the Powerforce FE damper in the $90 to $100 range so if you need a damper (and what 40-year-old FE doesn't) and can get it cheaper than the standard retail, you have nothing to loose. |
