I kind of figured... I was looking into see if anyone has actually tried or used one. There are some people that say you actually gain some performance by reducing the engine flex...

There's other ways to accomplish that.

Honestly though, why not just go dry sump and be done with it?

You loose power to your wheels with the back and forth motion of the motor as it rotates, they don't increase your HP it just helps you deliver more of it to the ground.

thats why people have solid motor/trans mounts... like me!

if you want to beef up your oil pan get an oil baffle plate, I highly recommend one. No more low oil level buzzer on high G cornering for me!
