Sadly I feel like I just don't fit in... It's not like I use nitrous all the time. I am trying to build my engine up for na power first. Nitrous is kinda like icing on the cake. I don't even fit in with the power adder crew... Well I guess it's the anti crew crew for me... Haha

Thanks for the link

No prob! They have different companies around the country that will do the process for you. The one I use is in North Carolina and they do ALOT of Nascar stuff! Very reasonable prices too.

Ill post their info when I get back in the shop tomorrow.

It's a really neat process! I run our ESP Armor on my rotating assembly which is the same principle in surface finish form. I even did it to my ring and pinion

- Question -
How are alot of you eliminating motor and trans flex that has a big affect on shifting....I know the k-member brace and torque limiters help. But what further could benefit the car. I want to stay away from solid motor mounts because of vibration and what not.

I was thinking of some polyurethane motor mounts.....any other ideas...


Matt do you use the torque limiters?

I'm using polyurethane motor mounts - no vibration or noise. I highly recommend them if you're driving in a performance envirionment. I also use the K-member brace, but I found the torque limiters made too much noise for my daily driver, so I removed them. But your mileage may vary.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

thanks for the input, do the polyurethane motor mounts raise the motor at all.

No. In fact, IIRC the Steeda polyurethane engine mounts lower the engine slightly.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Ok that works perfect. I don't have much room to play between my strut tower brace and the FRPP Intake

 

[Matt D]

No braces or limiters for me ither, My race craft k-member came with solid motor mounts. No vibrations just lays everything I need down lol

 

[marcspaz]

Well, I have a Shaker and with the radical cams I have... I left the stock mounts in there. Its fun as hell to watch that sucker rock all over the place. LOL

 

[GrnBullitt08]

So solid motor mounts aren't so bad...

Why did you go with the race craft kmember over BMR? Lighter? I'm guessing it's a little more pricey

Actually no, The Bmr is a bit lighter. I just opped for racecraft.

I have seen both in person and they are to the highest quaility and fitment

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I've been Looking at racecrafts site, they have some badass shit for these s197s, did you buy a k-member kit and add the strange coilovers? Or did you piece yours together?
