Engine Mounts

I see that you can purchase heavy duty engine mounts from Cattman. Arethese really worth it? How much "performance" will I see? Thanks all.

I have a '96 Auto with those mounts in. Fit's in there fine. The idle at stoplights is rather rough. I like them a lot though. The engine DOES NOT MOVE once you have these in. Prob. doesn't help N/A cars as much as S/C ones cause we don't have as much power to try to control.

those mounts helps reduce wheel hop.....
front drive cars are notorious for wheel hop when launching
for a/t you probably don't need it unless you have a vb mod, nos, sc

I have them and they DO allow me to launch much harder without the fear of wheel hop. I haven't gotten a chance to try them at the track as of yet...but will let you guys know when I do. Another thing the max community doesn't realize is just how WEAK our stock engine mounts are. I'll bet about 10-20% of us with stock engine mounts have at least 1 or 2 that are shot, and we don't even know it. Just ask russ he already had to replace 1 engine mount on his almost STOCK 5th gen.
