Since I'm going to be replacing the damper bolt with the bigger BBC component, I'm also going
to upgrade the balancer while I'm there.
I'm trying to decide if the gold Race Series dampers is any better than the black Streetdampers ....
without the consideration of money.
I found the below info on the Fluidampr website.

Fluidampr Dampers Performance over 6,000 RPM
the damper is engineered to allow for quick acceleration and the rapid increase in torsional vibration frequency associated with higher rpms. There is a clerical difference between “meets SFI standards” and “SFI certified”. The former means we construct our Streetdampers to the same rigorous standards as those that are SFI Certified. The later means, we have worked diligently with SFI Foundation Inc., who sets the rules and regulations for most racing organizations, to have our Race Series dampers independently tested, officially certified and regularly scrutinized by SFI. SFI Certified is a very scientific and costly endeavor to ensure that the construction of our product will hold up in the racing world. Regardless of terminology, the engine owner wins because our Streetdampr are manufactured to the same high level race quality outlined by the SFI Foundation Inc.
I found this, but it's still not conclusive about which damper would be better.

LeBarron: Fluidampr offers a value-priced line of non-SFI rated Streetdampr brand dampers for popular small block Chevy and Ford applications. Streetdampr products can be used from mild to heavily modified applications whenever SFI 18.1 specs are not required because they provide similar benefits of broad range protection coverage and superior durability as Fluidampr just without a final protective finish. With some select applications we also offer different diameters and weights. It’s a compromise; a larger, heavier damper will provide more damping but slower throttle response and a smaller, lighter damper will improve throttle response but provide less protection. It is always best to consult with your engine builder or damper manufacturer if you need assistance.
