Three answers:

It helps mostly to prevent you breaking axles.

Easy to install, but does little help unless you adjust it properly

It is pricey, but easily half the cost of an axle.

1. It will help some to reduce wheel hop, but I feel that the mounts work much better. I combined the ZZP engine and tranny mounts and was able to eliminate wheel hop.

2. Install is fairly easy from what I have seen and heard, but I have no personal expereince with it.

3. Price isn't bad, but like I said, I think the mounts work much better.

definitely helps 60' time and saves your axles

can put it on in about 30 minutes, maybe 45 if not so mechanically inclined

In my experience the upper mount alone didn't really help much with wheel hop at the track. I went ahead and ordered the TTR trans mounts and I will see if that helps in a couple weeks at the track. When I first went to the track with the TTR engine mount I was pretty much stock with a few minor bolt ons and the wheel hop was unbearable even when leaving even at idle. My next visit will be with the upper engine mount, 2 trans bushings, my just installed stage 2. I hop this eliminates all the hoping.

I have it, I like it. However after stage II and some extra hp it does not help as much. Was my first mod, a great first mod for stock balts.
