Heres what a polular maunufacturer is saying:

"An engine dampener is a small shock absorber that mounts between the engine and the chassis. It reduces engine movement and dampens its motion providing a number of benefits:

--- Improved off-the-line acceleration
--- Reduced wheel hop
--- Improved vehicle stability
--- Reduced shock load on driveline components
--- Smoother shifting
--- Reduced wear on exhaust system joints

Of course, some of these benefits can be gained by installing stiffer engine mounts but at a cost of noise and increased vibrations. And, installation of the engine mounts is a lot more complex than an engine dampener, which can also be adjusted to preload the dampening setting.
"

I especially like the idea of smoother shifting (S2k has sucky shifts in 1,2,3 because of engine torque), stability and wheel hop. They go on to state that many professional drifters are using dampers to help keep a consistent drift through corners.

What are everyones thoughts?
