Lookatme If you are using your car much on the street I think you prefer regular motor mounts. Motor plates makes VIBRATIONS ........ I will use my car mostly on track and nights.....

4600 Stall speed?..I'm hoping for your sake this is more of a drag car than a street car as with that much,you'll have a heck of a time moving away quietly from any stop-lights or what have you..that is,without attracting any unwanted attention from the local constabulary,if ya know what I mean..

say does that little car happen to be an opel kadett? those cars seem even smaller in person. yes ive been told that it amplifies the engine vibrations a BIT. but ive also heard that itll help it leave quicker, since there are no rubber mounts to flex and give. ANY attention is good attention.
