Ok I have both. Tranny mount vibrates quite a bit but has the greatest effect in combatting wheelhop. The motor mount helps some and I could not notice the difference of feel from stock. I did the motor mount first but within the month i did the tranny mount too. If you don't mind noticeable vibration get the tranny mount.

Yeah I only have the two mounts. I won't be getting control arm bushings untill I find out if I cannot hook at the track with drag radials. Right now I get no wheelhop.

Yep, the tranny mount will decrease wheel hop much more than the motor mount. But there is added vibrations...and a lot of it.

I have the tranny mount and engine mount, i still get a little wheel hop but not near as bad as just having the engine mount. There is alot more cabin noise, more of the vibs go away your just stuck with the cabin noise. My next thing to do is control arm bushings.

the motor mount is nice and the vibs really arent noticable. For me only in the mornings on a cold start. IT made my shifts nice and my 40 punches don't boggle around for a second anymore. plus it takes 5 mins to put on. Get the top mount IMO

get the tranny mount....
It takes maybe 10 minutes to change out.
You can always cruise with the stock one on and then switch to the poly one when you want to go to the track.

How would you guys rate torque braces and torque dampeners vs engine mounts and tranny mounts? Ive heard the best way to get rid of wheelhop altogether was to use either one of these.

Would getting control arm bushings , possibly be more of a benefit tht either of the other 2 , or are they just very nice compliment if u already have the trans or motor mount ?
