Torque strap. Yes or no
 

A guy was over at my house checking out my LX since I got it finished. He was looking it over and suggested that I get a torque strap for the engine.

A torque strap is a strap that goes from the drivers side of the engine to the frame and makes it where the engine cant move when you revv it.

He claims a torque strap can improve your 60ft time and knock a tenth or so off of your time and it helps save your motor mounts.

Hell I just never even thought of a torque strap before. Anyone on here use one?

I have used one and like them but a .10 msy br s litle opptamistic. Comp Engineers m,skes a bolt on kit foe the fox but if you have a TSC (tractor supply company) in odessa or close then you can make one for under 20 bux. If you are still running rubbrt mounts then i woul suggest one as well. i did a post on this with a few pics in the classic forum on a moyot mount thread if you want to search for it.

Absofuckingloutely! The difference you will feel is incredible. If you have subframe connectors, you'll come close to pulling the drivers side wheel.

That side to side movement you see your engine make when you rev it is wasted energy. I have always used a chain bolted to the head and the frame, but a better set-up would be to use a turnbuckle.

Take care,

What kind of engine mounts are you using, Dark?

I upgraded to the Energy Suspension poly mounts and noticed a big difference just when revving up the motor from the engine bay. I'm sure a torque strap would help even more. JEGS has them.
