you mean 158whp

if you've got a front motor mount or insert then your rear will go much faster if you launch harder. HP has nothing to do with it.

"go faster" as in wear out faster. He's saying that if you put a stiffer front engine mount on and leave the rear mount stock, the rear mount will be the only one flopping around and wear out sooner.

BTW, MP3Architect, nice ride! Do we know how to wander off topic, or what?
