i have had both the TD and the solid mount from TTR....the vibs are almost exactly the same, but the mount is WAY better when it comes to planting the power...go with that! and i recomend tranny mounts too...

yes it is adjustable...but, not that much...and if you are going to be changing the settings all the time wit will wear out the shock! you have to keep it at the correct setting, too loose or too tight will ruin it.

ok...honestly...i love the little bit of shake i get! at normal driving speeds you dont notice it...only at idle. I have a feeling you are over estimating how much vibs you will get...its not that much at all

that **** got blown way out of proportion. don't worry about the dan vibratons. get a ttr motor mount ifyou really want one. I ran the td for about 6 months and I just installed the ttr. im like it better than the td

that will give you a noticeable diff in the pants dyno...but, as far as track times, i think you would cut more off with traction mods

at this point, your main concern should be tractions mods as said above. get the power you have down and then go from there. i'm saying engine mount, tranny bushings & cai. you'll be very happy with that. then once you get more money up, get a heat exchanger & option b kit. the dual pass is kind pointless, unless you upgrade the pump which is a good idea. but right now with just the gm stage 2 & exhaust you really dont NEED cooling mods yet. but it would be nice to get them later, like when your ready for a dyno tune.
