Weird vibrations noticed with tq brace

I'm not sure if it my paranoid self or not, but I notice a weird noise coming from either the s/c(which the bearings need greased) it also makes the original m62 rock grinder noise. It sounds like that or maybe a noise valve train. but when you rev it it doesn't slow down as it should for that to be the case. if you give it a quick snap of the throttle it goes up, I'm also thinking maybe a bad oversized tensioner. it needs a stg 2 belt.
anyone else notice anything like this after getting the ingals tq. brace

after i installed the smm on mine i noticed all sorts of strange noises that sounded like they were coming from the motor compartment or the tranny. but after i removed the mounts the noises all went away again. i think any time you try to limit this drivetrain from moving so much it sends out strange noises thru the cabin of the car

I've never used (or been in a car with a torque brace) but once you hold the motor tighter to the frame you're going to have a lot of vibrations. Have someone start the car for you and stand outside and listen to it. It should sound normal, the loudness is only inside the cabin.

yea i did that today, I think its just my s/c. I just can't stand it, after being taught to listen for sounds, all I do is hone in on it. It's soo annoying. I guess I'll live. haha
