Okay guys,
We all have read some of the other threads that got pretty nasty at times about aftermarket motor mounts being worth any RWHP. I have read ZERO to 7RWHP. I want "NO" fighting on this subject but want to know if anyone has any real proof one way or another. Please only state the facts.
Thanks Scott

They're worth something if you drag race with a supercharger and don't want to crack your block because you launched so hard your engine torqued and ripped off the motor mount.
Or you could just be cheap and buy a ratcheting tie down and strap down the drivers side to the K-member.

Did the chain on the drivers side 25 years ago. Hoped it had gotten a little more refined since than.

eh, BBR and Granatelli would like you to believe otherwise. That they net rwhp gains.
My latest dyno would assume otherwise. The Prothane units I now have are marginally better than stock for my NA application but obviously when my nitrous hits the upgraded mounts will help keep the engine from torquing over excessively. Its a just incase kinda thing, not really needed unless you need more clearance here and there.

I do intend to install longtubes within the year and may need them for clearance. I just see them advertised to add rwhp and for the price in would be a pretty sweet investment for 7 rwhp. Never know what to believe. Dyno sheets with stock mounts and aftermarket mounts back to back are the only for sure proof. But I haven't seen away yet.
