How would that be able to effect ET? I would if you had broke mounts and put in the best maybe .000001.

Spohn says you'll put more power to the ground with solid mounts because the engine isn't fighting the rubber anymore. All the power goes to the wheels, like God intended.

Jesus gives my car more horsepower

Seriously, how do you gain more HP to the wheels except for that small fraction of a second that your rubber mounts are flexing during the launch? The way you say that makes it sound like you will gain more overall HP.

Just your motor mounts are not going to make a noticeable differance but a solid sturdy suspension, motor mounts, tranny mount, will put more hp and tq to the ground than one with stock mounts and suspension. These cars flex which in turn is hp/tq lost the less flex the less hp/tq will be lost.

I believe my suspension is part of the reason my car puts down such good hp/tq numbers. I'm in a cam car's hp/tq range with just bolt ons no cam. Maybe my car is just a freak but I believe it is part due to a tight sturdy suspension.
