tkb289 .... I decided to stay out of this thing as the thread degenerated .... however , getting back to your original question , the ERA mount modification is what Patrick has already answered . What it does is limit the amount of engine movement under load ( torque ) .... and is somewhat adjustable as you can change the preload by tightening the bolt . As I pointed out , the engine will want to rotate towards the passenger side under full throttle and this limits it somewhat . Where you might run into some contact is when you get off the throttle quickly and the engine settles back to the other side ... which is where mine just touches the underside of the hood ( off throttle quickly under WOT track conditions ) .... at about 8:30 am/pm per your reference . I have the motor mount mod as I also put the car on the track some and do a lot of WOT and hard shifting . I have not hard any contact on the driver`s side at all .
I measured my filter element last night and it is 3 1/4" top to bottom and 14" diameter . I could have picked up more clearance by using a 2 3/4" element , but wanted the larger element for less restriction .
