when putting in poly mount a lil more torque gets to the wheel.. less engine movement means more torque is sent thru the drivetrain....I use a wire and hook on my s/c to limit engine movement

less engine movement = better HP transfer

My engine has a crazy amount of vibration above 4500 rpms. It's to the point where I almost thought something was wrong. Its to the point where I almost don't like to drive the car above 4500rpms ever. I dont know if it's worth a little extra hp and torque. I definately want the car to be comfortable as it can cuz I don't really plan on being at the track often. I just drive it maybe once or twice a week and have fun with it. So, I guess in my case, comfort would be better and I should just go stock rubber.

I just recently put in a new engine and it has the same vibration as my old one. It sucks.
