Well, anyone?

Any interest in pursuing something like this?

500 bucks plus shipping is a bitter pill to swallow.

I, for one, wouldn't mind getting a couple bucks off.....

I checked my emails but couldn't find where I bought them. I'll ask my wife to look for the receipt.
I may have posted that info here or on Diesel Place. I think I also bought one from Summit
 
I still don't see why FLUIDAMPER makes the SFI certified unit for the 6.2 and 6.5's? How many people out there with a 6.2/6.5 need a SFI spec unit that is approved for racing? I don't see why they don't make a streetdamper version like they do for small blocks and big blocks. They sell for about half of what a fluidamper does, and the only real difference is they aren't SFI approved. I've asked this question to them on 2 different forums they posted about the 6.2/6.5 damper on, and they never responded either time. It would just make some sense for them to do this as many people who have 6.2/6.5's just can't justify a $500 part for a truck that is probably only worth $3-4K. They would sell ALOT more of them if they would drop the price down tp say $350 and not go through the trouble of having them SFI approved.

SFI is still only really required if you want to race in a snctioned event in a class that requires it. I doubt that many 6.5's could get enough HP out to require even if you did want to race it.
