Default What are the best bushings / mounts for drag racing? (M6)

Hi guys,

I am going to order a set of solid motor mounts from Madman and was wondering what the best tranny mount and any other bushing(s) I could use to tighten up the drivetrain?

Vibration isnt really a factor, I just want better ET and more mph <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Plus I would like anything I remove to be replaced with something lighter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Chris,

I think that we are still using the stock tranny mount. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Let me know how it works out for ya if you go to a solid mount. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

You could use the poly mount. That works pretty well and firms up the transmission a bit. It's a direct bolt in.

Thanks guys,
Derty do you have a part number for that tranny mount? Are you heading out to Cayuga, St. Thomas or GB anytime soon?

thanks again,
Chris
