4 straps. two on the motor mounts up front, and two on the lower control arms in the rear.. I'm going to get axle straps so I can just use those, but haven't done it yet...

Get the ones that are 3-4" from Home Depot, I think they're $15 ea. They come with a very long strap, but just cut it to desired length...

3400lb car on slicks and launching at 7000rpms isn't good for a stock t45. I highly doubit it's gonna last so I don't want to fit the tow bill when(not if) it breaks. That and I'm tired of only going 60mph all the way to the damn track. Damn gear. -Mark

true but I also needed it for my 2 atv's and 2 dogs. Also if you break I can drive my car home and tow your old carb ass home.
