      prevent the engine from moving back and forth, redusting wheel hop
      Its more fun to drive a slow car fast, rather than drive a fast car slow!

      Normally worse since the engine movement will bent the little metal braces that it attaches to.

      it might, but its a damper so it still has play to it, it just smoths out the engine movement

      If it was a solid bar, maybe it would bend the brackets but it's not. It's just a damper and it still allows the engine to move.

      I had my engine on the dyno, and when it was there I seen it had a whole lot of movement

      Re: Engine Damper

      If you have a chance to play with an engine damper, you would know that an engine damper is not possible to be pressed in by hand. So its actually no different from a solid bar. As for the bending of brackets, I dont think it can bend so thick a bracket. The engine is almost stationary now, and transfer more outputs onto the wheels faster during pick up due to less rocking.
