What do they mean by "throw their damper?"
The pin kit has nothing to do with damper retention. It is there to keep the balancer rotating on the crank, usually as a result of driving a supercharger. In a NA application, I don't see the benefit of adding a crank pin kit.

Yup. I understand it only prevents shift and not retention. I might have gotten the precise wording incorrect, though. At one point, Wegner ask me if it was keyed. I told them ATI said it should be fine without. They offered critical feedback on that suggestion saying they've seen dampers spin on stock LS1s and that, considering the cost and effort, I should be using ATI's Crank Pin Drill Fixture Kit (918993).
