wow man, you need to calm down, its the internet, he didn't slap your mother. You'll get used to the smartarse comments that some guys on here leave, mainly adder, but occasionally even they help. And if you really want some hard core clamps go to napa and ask them for heavy duty worm clamps, they're for large deisel trucks, and you really shouldn't be street racing (hopefully you're on a track) Its ****ing stupid and I lost a car and a friend to it. Think what you will, say the inevitable line "It won't happen to me" but you will **** up and get caught or worse hurt somebody else. Any way the drag strip is more fun, and around here there is still plenty of v6's at the strip on test and tune night

Thats just Adder dont mind him. But i will say is i came on this site when i was 18 and i avoided alot of head aches and unnecessary purchases from posting on hear, and have learned a hell of a alot from these guys.

AS usual, mjr is probs right, check the mounts, there usually fried in these cars and can cause big issues such as this.
