Default Mounts are done

Finally, I got the solid tranny mounts and engine torque dampers installed. The drivetrain isn't moving at all and oh my gosh what a difference. My poor tires are under twice duress they were yesterday, lol.

No vibrations yet, the dampers help with that. I do feel the hard shifts then everything is smooth again. I had to, I'm running 11psi of boost. Every pound of boost is the equivelant 15hp. So that alone that would be like hooking up a 165 nitrous shot, lol.

Dayum. Stock 4.7 block and internals taking it like a champ? Now if someone had the ***** to do this to a 3.7 we'd have a real rare bird on our hands...

Yes, my tranny mount was bent and the "vulcanized rubber" on the engine mounts were stretching two inches or so. I also pulled my headers out of the exhaust flanges like 20 times, lol.

I might shoot one on Sunday. Tomorrow we are driving out to a pow-wow. I'm going to have to put my stock wheels on for this. I burned my new Nitto's a little today, lol.
