I installed my damper about an hour ago. On the drive back to work, it seems like it made a world of difference. +1 for Ingalls!

did you have it tightened? stock from the box it didn't do anything. i tightened it 2 milimeters and made a big difference. if i really get on it there's still some wheel hop, but the way i drive i don't get any now. the tires will actually just spin, then hook up. i'm sure if i tightened it another mili or 2 it would be even better.

That's my big problem at the track... I lowered my car and I hoped that might of helped a little. But I figured for 110 why not.. Or should I take the money and spend it else where. Get back asap as I'm soposeto be buying it today thanks chris
I wasn't aware that the TD fit on the 2.2; I thought the intake would get in the way.

if you have aftermarket i think it's ok. the stock airbox would DEF> be in the way though. but don't quote me on that. as far as on the 2.2, i doubt you would even need the td. i never once had wheelhop even after intake and full exhaust. was able to spin the tires, but never had wheelhop.

Correction from previsous.....as soon as I turned on my a/c, the vibrations were crazy. Just a fair warning. I have mine set around 13 mm.
