Unlocking the full potential of a high-performance engine often comes down to the details—specifically, how you manage the harmonic vibrations that can rob you of power and engine longevity. For owners of the new 2025+ Ram 1500 RHO and other 3.0L Hurricane-powered vehicles, the wait is over.
797 Performance has just introduced two high-performance ATI Super Dampers tailored specifically for the 3.0L Hurricane Inline-6 engine. Whether you’re looking for a heavy-duty stock replacement or an "underdrive" performance edge, these dampers are the ultimate upgrade for your crankshaft’s health.
Why Your Hurricane Needs a Super Damper
The Hurricane 3.0L is a marvel of modern engineering, but high-boost, high-RPM environments create intense torsional vibrations. While the factory harmonic balancer is designed for standard daily driving, the ATI Super Damper is built for enthusiasts.
Both new models feature:
-
Patented Technology: The only damper designed exclusively for high-performance engines.
-
SFI 18.1 Safety Rating: Exceeds industry safety standards for racing applications.
-
Aluminum Shell: Lightweight construction to reduce rotating mass.
-
Maintenance-Friendly: Fully rebuildable with tunable O-rings for different power levels.
Option 1: The Standard Size (OEM Diameter)
If you want the absolute best protection for your engine without changing your accessory drive speeds, the Standard Size ATI Damper is the way to go.
-
Size: 6.325 inches
-
Best For: Daily drivers, tow rigs, and high-horsepower builds that want to maintain factory charging and cooling efficiency.
-
Benefit: It eliminates the crankshaft vibrations that lead to oil pump failure and bearing wear, ensuring your Hurricane stays healthy for the long haul.

Option 2: The 10% Underdrive (UD) Damper
For those chasing every last bit of horsepower, the 10% Underdrive ATI Damper is the performance choice. By slightly reducing the diameter of the pulley, you reduce the speed of your engine’s accessories (like the alternator and water pump).
-
Size: 10% Underdrive
-
Best For: Track-oriented builds, street-strip trucks, and enthusiasts looking to reduce parasitic drag.
-
Benefit: Less energy spent turning accessories means more power sent to the wheels. It’s a "free" horsepower gain while still providing the superior harmonic damping ATI is known for.
