I had to modify my torque axis mount to get mine to fit:


But that'* a Series 1. Same issue, different chunk of metal. I had to take ALOT off the mount.

Will,

was it worth it? did you notice any performance differences? H20 temp? Top end increase?

No operating temp differences due to this, either positive or negative. Nothing felt performance wise, but it is helping (simply physics, right?) but probably in the 3-5hp range, which is REALLY hard to feel.

It worked for me... not sure it was worth the problems it caused but I ended up with a setup that is better then ever.

Blazin, by "it worked for me", what are you saying? You know it helped performance wise? Or you did it and it didn't eat belts up?

From my experience, the effect cannot be felt or measured. It can be predicted from a logical sense, but I seriously doubt you could attribute any gains seen at the track or on a dyno to such a small modification.

I ment I have not seen any ill side effects from running one. I'm not stating gains though it does seem to rev a lil faster but nothing you are going to see in a 'butt dyno'.

I didn't have to modify my engine mount ('92) from the looks of it willwren had to on his '93. So the only problem I ran into is belt slip running a 2" pulley with a stock sized tentioner pulley. I didn't have a problem running a 2.2" pulley. The problem is solved now and it looks like willwren will be working to solve the problem also. I really wouldn't call this a problem since I really dont see many people in the near future running a 2" pulley.
