ATI Damper - 7.48in - Alum LW - 6 Groove - LSA - 09-15 Cadillac CTS-V (Excl SC Pulley)

This is the ATI 7.48-inch lightweight aluminum crankshaft damper designed specifically for the 2009-2015 Cadillac CTS-V models equipped with the LSA engine. It’s crucial for managing torsional vibrations from the crankshaft, which can cause damage over time and affect engine performance. This damper is built to handle the stresses of high-performance LSA engines, especially those that have been modified or are used in demanding applications.

ATI is well-known for its robust damper designs, and this unit is no exception. It features six grooves for accessory belts, ensuring all your engine's accessories are driven reliably. The lightweight aluminum construction helps reduce rotational mass at the crankshaft, which can contribute to improved engine response. This damper is designed to be a direct replacement for the stock unit, though it excludes the supercharger pulley, meaning you’ll reuse your existing supercharger drive system components. Proper installation is key to ensuring the damper functions correctly and protects your engine’s crankshaft from harmful harmonics.

When you're working on an LSA engine, especially in a performance application like the CTS-V, managing crankshaft harmonics is paramount. This ATI damper offers a well-built solution that balances performance with reliability. It's a solid choice for anyone looking to maintain or improve the longevity and performance of their LSA-powered Cadillac.
