If I were to install a WEAPON*R Engine Damper would this help eliminate any torque steer ?

I've had my SS SC for 3 days now and although I have kept the rpm under 4500 I still notice great torque steer especially when turning under accceleration. It seems to pull hard into the turn.

I do have the LSD. This is my first front wheel drive car so maybe I'm just not used to it but I'm thinking when I do get the car broke in and get to hammer it the torque steer will be much worse (scary thought).

Also does anybody know where I could get the WEAPON*R Engine Damper for the best price ?



Peace :eek:

I don't think the engine damper will help with torque steer.

Advan Performance has them for $150 plus $15 shipping. That's the cheapest I've seen them for sale.

I think its just that you have to get used to driving a front wheel drive car.

im pretty sure that you dont feel torque steer while turning. its how the car pulls to one side or another when driving in a straight line under acceleration
