the less the engine twists on its mounts the more power is transmitted to twisting the wheels

Ah, but if the engine mounts in there are complete shite, as Steve says, harder mounts allow more of the power to be sent to the wheels, rather than loosing power through engine/box twist...

So *technically* they could be increasing bhp at the wheels.... Engine BHP and wheels bhp are two different things

Will increase it to the wheels, the only place it counts.

Well, the torque really, but its the same shit.

Ive seen tests and shit done on V8s on the USA, suprising results.
