Arrow stillen torque damper

so I just installed it today! It took a lot more time then i thought it would and the space is so tight to work on in there! overall i got it done and drove the car for a bit. it does seem to drive better and more responsive and at the same time not much vibration (maybe a little at low rpm i feel the gas peddle vibrate a tad bit). i adjusted it a good amount but didn’t over tighten the damper...
my question is: after the install when you rev the motor is the motor supposed to still torque any or none at all? mine torques a little still which is fine i think because i don’t want it to be too solid and put so much stress on the damper that it brakes. but it did help with my launch a lot!!

*for those of you who are curious as i was about power gains i didn’t really feel and torque gains as they claim. i think its all in peoples head, but like i said im very happy with the product and it does make the car faster because i can launch better now

Don't listen to that idiot. Look at his post count ...he just trolls around.

You will not gain a measurable increase in performance, but rather an increase in engine response.

I have installed one and the outcome was more like tightening up the car in response to large vibrations from the engine. The vibrations are transferred through the wheel and body of the car.

It just helps with throttle responce and will help you not tear your motor mounts

well ive driven it alot more now since the install and im loving it! again i dont feel a performance increase as advertised, but the throttle responce is alot better and down shifting while turning is very smooth! before this mod i had to kind of shove the shifter in gear...if felt mushy, like a big rubber bushing was in the way. now it feels great! no complaints.
as for davidv-no comment haha
