Default Video of My Solid Motor Mounts

Everyone always wonders how much of a difference solid motor mounts make so after me and my dad did the swap i took a video of it(and just for refererence it took us 3 hours).. its a world of a difference the motor doesnt even move one bit neither does the shifter..

everyone also says everything will vibrate like crazy but it doesnt any more that it did before with the beat up stock mounts..

Motor Mounts

Old video of burnouts and donuts

Wow, your car sounds awesome. I see it says you have true duals, could you be more specific? Thanks.

I think that video just convinced me to get the solid motor mounts....

If only for the way the car moves when you rev it...not to mention the added power to the ground...

And that lope isn't slowing me down any on the cam swap, either.

Question 1: Would the knock sensors pick up any vibaration that might be dampened by the stock mounts? Just curious as to how sensitive they are.

Question 2: What are the advantages to a solid mount setup?

THABMXER - your Firehawk is killer. That's one of the best vids I've seen.

its a 6 point, it does have swing out door bars but its so much easier to just roll out over the bar, i dont even notice it getting in and out but watching my friends get in for the first time is always fun

well when i had my stock mounts and cam the computer was tuned so the knock sensors wouldnt go crazy cause the cam and putting in the solid mounts havent change anything..

well 1 the shifter doesnt move one single bit!! and 2 i swear it feels like i have more low end torque, its just because the motor doesnt move any so there isnt any hesitation when giving it gas
