There is definetly more advantages to having them to not having them. I could really notice last year when driving Jets car. Even with it being crankwalked you could tell it shifted a lot better until WOT after the motor mounts were installed.

Another thing that should go hand in hand with motor mounts is some decent suspension. I notice at the track a lot of cars take off and the nose of the car lifts way up in there air and then comes back down inbetween shifts. Which I guess you could say the weight transfer might be good for traction but it seems like it would hurt shifting somewhat. Even just by the jerking up and down. The cars that seem to have consistant smooth one two shifts have stiffer suspension and less body travel.

What suspension is the best for traction/shifting for straight racing? Is there a inbetween setup thats the best of both worlds or do you have to lose something to gain something? Are there any supsension setups that work to help FWD traction?
