I'm looking into buying an Engine Dampner for my tC and I have noticed 2 main brands, Secret Weapon's and Ingalls "Stiffy." I did read the great review of the "Stiffy" but I also would like to know if anyone has had problems with the "Stiffy"?

Any help on this would be great in making my purchase.

And YES...I said STIFFY

 

I've heard the Stiffy is quite good. I think ZPI has tested both and I'm pretty sure it didn't take them long to break the WeaponR one... but the Stiffy held up.

 

So the Stiffy stayed up...

 

the stiffy remained firm and strong.

 

go with the Ingalls, i speak from exp. with the Weapon R---its junk
broke on me after 3weeks...i have not gotten/nor am i getting the ingalls, im just waiting for motor mounts from ZPI to arrive

 

This is starting to sound like a Viagra commercial

Also, I plan on S/C and other goodies to hit 200-220 whp. I think the test stiffy was more horsepower then I will ever hit.

 

how in the heck did you break it in 3 weeks... I have had mine on there for 3 months and not a single issue. Did you break the mount or what? Weapon R has changed the mount on the tC. I have the new mount and seriously not a single issue with mine.

 

I agree wait on the motor mounts from zpi its abot $30 more, and alot better.

 

Are they both around $150???

 

The motor mounts from zpi are $165+shipping i paid about $180. For mine.

 

pre-ordered mine, paid alot less...but yea, they will be better buy

i had the Weapon R damper the day it came out, put it in...was fine, then BAM...
the shock busted basically, i contacted them and they just refunded me my money..i did not want another one

i kno of a few tc's in my area with the same issue, but they had it replaced with a new one.

 

Welll techncially i paid preorder price....but my gaskets blew on my stage 0 so they sent those for me for free instead of refunding me the moeny so i consider that an even trade.

 

What about Motor mounts and a Stiffy? Or will that be over kill for a 220whp motor?

 

that works

 

id go with motormounts since it takes care of both sides.

 

yea, just the mounts should take care of it and then some

 

yea motor mounts get rid of the movement on both sides, so those are better in theory.

highlandermac has the stiffy and though it took care of A LOT of the motion from that ocean. but some still ripples from the other side of the engine.

 

i have a stiffy


the brackets look ten times stronger than the weapon r

 

How much harder is the Motor mounts compared to the Stiffy install?

 

stiffy you can do in less than 30 mintues... the motor mounts... over 1 hr and i would say about 20 times harder in my opinion. (i do consider the damper very easy)
