Thinking of relocating my TA onto a Skulte T-56 trans mount. Wanted to know how beefy to make the mount using a shackle type mount. I have a Jegster mount now and hate the noise.

If your ever launching hard and the trans mount separates you will know. SLAM into the trans tunnel! Ask me how I know.


I guess another way to look at it, when accelerating, the snout (input side) of the rear axel wants to rotate upward. The torque arm being an extension from that.
