How bad does your engine shake? I have a TR 224 and my engine shakes more than I think it should. Maybe my engine mounts are toast? Can this be tuned out through the computer?

 

i have a 232/238 cam. it shakes sometimes....but i like it, im sure you could tune it out
....

 

I put a T-REX in my car with stock motor mounts and it shock the doors off,I put Pro Thaine motor mount in, now very ,very little shaking.

 

My shakes a bit more at warm up.

 

My 232/234 comp cams with Prothane mounts shakes very little. It gives you some vibration idling thru the whole vehicle but the engine itself moves very little.

at stop lights i can feel the whole truck shaking with the TV2. im going with a torque strap to help aid in that along with helping transfer power better

 

My stock cam car was shaking too until I put poly engine mounts in a month ago. No more shaking now.

 

yes they will shake that is part of putting a cam in, i have poly mounts and mine has little to no shake to it with the trex!

 

Yea, mine shakes too with the TR224 so I've been looking into some new motor mounts.

 

I have an F13 and the car doesn't shake too bad, but when you pop teh hood you can see the motor rocking side to side. I'm on stock motor mounts.

 

Yep mine shakes to. Stock mounts.

 

mine shakes a little, but not enough to bother me.

 

Where are you guys getting the poly motor mounts, and how much?

 

Thunder. I think they're around $50 or so. It's on the site... thunderracing.com

Thanks

 

the shaking is due to the **** stock engine mounts, it is always a good idea to change mounts when doing a cam swap. most folks don't but it is a good idea.
the rocking/shaking is NOT a good thing- think of it this way, if the engine is moving it takes power to move it, that power is not getting to the wheels(might not be much but..), more importantly with significant movement of the engine your drive train is being put in a bind and premature failure can result. Just my .02

 

mine shakes like a biotch... and worse when i turn the a/c on.... makes rattling/knocking noises too... i definatley need poly motor/tranny mounts, and a decent tune

 

yep, stock motor mounts suck w/ a cam. I suspect that is what caused my a/c line to break.... sucks.

 

After my cam swap my motor would move nearly and inch in either direction at idle! My stock mounts were toast....it's pretty solid now after poly motor mounts.

 

how long would it take to swap out the motor mounts? and how hard is it
