I guess my question should read......how light or heavy should the damper be? My combo is pretty much stock stuff.....in PG mode it's an 8" converter with a stock-weight or little heavier SFI flex-plate....may try one of those heavier 'JW' wheels as well.....In stick mode, I've got a McLeod clutch with lowered base pressure......a sort of a 'poor man's' 'Soft-Lok'...with several flywheels ranging from 12 to 30 lbs......planning on running a Doug Nash trans....there are several around here....With all the parts swapping here, should I worry about the damper? BTW, running beefed stock rods and light....but not super-lite pistons. 1965 Chevelle wagon 283-220 hp. SS/N(A).
