well, motor mounts are better, but the engine limitor is easy to install and remove.

both will reduce engine movement, but they also dramtically increase vibrations in the car, so atleast with the engine limitor you can easily remove it when you don't want it, and put it back on when your heading down to the track.

yeaa thought about it the same thing. but i heard something about the engine limiter is from zpi or something and is having alot of problems so yea. im not really worried about vibration cuz i have a torque damper in and it vibrated alot. think the engine mount will vibrate as much as the torque damper vibs?

not to thread jack, but is it against the rule to say:


"I have an ingalls for sale"

Check the PPC: suspension.

I've owned a damper and poly motor mounts. Damper is much less effective than just the front mount, and a lot louder. With the poly mounts, the vibration is pretty intense under 1500rpms, but goes away completely as revs go up from there. On the highway, you literally can't tell the difference from stock. Can't say that for a limiter.
