Well, I installed the DMD today. Went out on the highway I-75 and I think there was a difference. I did notice one thing, after switching from my unorthodox to the DMD my engine rev A LOT slower, comparing the smoothness of the DMD to the unorthodox to be honest I really couldn't tell a HUGE difference, yes the DMD is smoother but I guess I had a well balance UDP.
One thing I did notice was that I KNOW I lost power, I was ready to accept this naturally due to the weight of the two but not this much power loss. I will be selling my DMD $60 shipped, $80 shipped with brand new spankin belt.
If my engine dies tomorrow I would be ok with it, To this day I don;t know anyone who has had crank failure due to a UDP and I've asked countless times. Just wanted to give my 2 cents.
Thanks,
Eric

I am not knocking you man but it seems like you have a problem with most mods that you do. Never seem pleased.
Freeways are kinda wierd. I can see I-75 right out my window...kinda funny that your on the same road but in Florida.

Didn't feel a difference. Bullsh^t! It's night and day different on any MTX even changing from the stock damper to a DMD. Much less from an ultra light Non-Dampered pulley to a DMD.
Well balanced UDP.  That has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I must agree with Demon.
The switch from a UDP to DMD was absolutely astonishing.
So much smoother over 4k, I couldn't believe it.
Almost felt like a completely different car.
None of that shaking, vibrating, mess that I used to feel.
huge different imho.

LOL this is funny , while he wrote this reply on the DMD he looked at me and said QUOTE" i bet you anything DemonSvt will say something about this" ..
Since im the one who installed this on his car, it was done correctly as i have the DMD on mine as well .
And after the part was installed we jumped on the highway and did a test run and he could feel the power loss.
If you compare the weight to the UDP you'll understand .
Since his car flat out "screams" and has the fidanza, sho shop Y pipe and so many other mods, he can feel a slight power loss EASY !
Even when i installed this on my car i had to think about it for a while if it really helped anything or not ,its such a slight diffrence you completely forget about it .

i don't think anyone is doubting the slight power loss....if any. it may not rev faster...however it does rev a lot smoother. that's the difference that I experienced.
i did notice that with the DMD, it did rev a little slower....but its nothing for me to complain about.
I too have a lot of mods to my car. (don't have the fidanza/clutch/quaife combo in yet).

You can say that about any post, Demon pretty much comments on everything technical on our cars.  So will I notice a difference on my ATX when I get it?

Just a note from a Mondeo Owner, I installed my DMD last November and I noticed a massive difference even at low rev's much more refined and smooth. Seems to have much better transistion between 12 and 24 valves also..
