Default engine damper question

hi guys. i was wondering if anyone would be so kind enough to take a video of revving their engine with an engine damper installed. that would be great! i installed mine but it feels like the engine is still moving a lot. thanks!

You'll regret solid mounts. I promise.

My bad, not completely solid. Something like Innovative 75a. Night and day difference in engine response from what I've read and the vibrations aren't too bad, they clear up shortly after install.

Prop your hood open. Start your car and proceed to rev your engine. You will be able to see your engine's movement from the driver's seat.

Or just open the throttle manually while you stand right in front of your engine

Orrrr pop the hood and with your hand move the throttle body linkage.

Works like a charm

Yeah those are pretty much "solid mounts" ...i had Hardrace/megan OEM style mounts (just made out of solid rubber) and even those vibrated like mofo...
