It give you better response with your throttle input. But other then that nothing else beside more bling under the hood.

Ummmm.....what?

If the original poster is talking about an engine torque dampener, then I dont see how it helps throttle....its not connected to anything mechanical.

It keeps your motor from moving around when you step on it, thus smoothing out the ride. Your car will vibrate more when you are stopped (the motor will shake the whole car instead of just itself) but will vibrate less when you are moving.

I've read this to be a popular mod with the 350z crowd, but haven't heard much about it with regard to our cars. Anyone here have it for themselves?

This was a review done a few months ago to give you an idea of how someone feels about it

I just found when I step on the gas it comes a lot quicker because the motor doesn't shift as much. I'm guessing that affect the throttle?
