Garfinkle Engine Torque Brace in 3 rotor

For those looking for an engine torque brace, you must give David Garfinkle a call. I have a 3 rotor in my FD and he did a custom brace for me to the dimensions I need for the 20b. I was looking at one with a dampner and Garfinkle's looked like a solid one but it is not. He presses a "rubber" bushing in both ends to dampen the vibration. I'm making 560whp and I'm not getting any vibration from the brace. The only way I know it is there is that I can shift from 2nd gear to 3rd now. I was getting a lot of 2nd to 5th shifts. David takes a lot of pride in his work....just look under the hood of his car and you'll know the quality of his work. I think he said I have the first brace he made for a 3 rotor. Anyway...thought I'd throw that out there for those considering a torque brace.
