hey does anyone have a spoon engine torque damper installed or had one installed?
i wanted to know if it actually does these things:
Greatly improved off-the line acceleration.
Reduced wheel hop.
Improved vehicle stability.
Reduced shock loads on driveline components.
Smoother shifting.
Reduced wear on exhaust system joints.
Less transmission vibration to the driver compared to polyurethane dampers.
thanks

I have one that isn't installed yet. I have the puddymod bracket for the car side, but with the Vortech, I haven't figured out how to attach it to the motor.
got any ideas?
I wanted to add one too but....
Here's the problem with S/C cars, at least on the Comptech. There isn't that "perfect spot" since the sandwich plate takes up that whole area. I really don't think it's designed to be used as a mounting point for the stresses of a torque damper either. Am I missing something?

similar issue with the Vortech. We need someone to fabricate a bracket so we can use the same mounting point as the SC brackets. It has to be a shorter bracket due to the SC brackets depth. When I put the puddymount in, I moved the ETD mounting point back 3/4" to help compensate. Just haven't had time to see about fabricating the engine side bracket.
My engine would vibrate so much from my itbs that after an hour driving, my hands would be sore as if I was mowing my lawn with a push lawnmower. I got the spoon etd and it made it sooo much better.
If I head up that way I would be happy to give you my car to make the template. I'm guessing you would need both a Vortech and a Comptech and would probably need to make a bracket for each..
