Question What do you think??

- A mini engine shock that reduces engine 'kick-back' movement
- reduces engine flex
- power more direct to the wheels
- made from CNC aluminum and chromoly steel
- can be used with engine mount upgrades

Saw that on H-T.com last night. I'm sure it does very little... more of a 'bling' item.

That trick is soooo old

I had a similar set up on my Mustang

Don't think it helped with power transfer

But it looked crazy when the front end would flex when I revved the motor

Every V8 "rocks the boat" when revved. I don't think it helps power transfer, but I think it would help chassis dynamics, and maybe keep the engine a little more true in the chassis. I think the same thing can be accomplished w/ urethane, but this looks cool too!!

I wonder what numbers would show if urethane mounts AND this shock absorber would produce
