Feeling slow from a stop

Ok I recently broke my trans mount and replaced it with a Energy suspension poly mount which hasn't felt right since I installed it. I have a vibration around 90ish, I tried removing the preload but it made it worse. I dunno, going to buy a stock one and see if that works. Anyway from a stop before I broke the mount I could light the tires up all the way down the street. Now they will not spin the car don't feel weak or slow when cruising it will still lay a track into 2nd gear but from a stop nothing... Do you think its from the mount or I was thinking maybe the hot weather is making the car choke on hot air untill she gets rollin??? Either the weather or the mount or something else in the drivetrain, Maybe the driveshaft which is causing my highspeed vibration?? What do you think THANKS

I had called energy suspension about a week ago to ask them a couple of questions about that mount and the torque arm mount, and they told me that there was a bad string of mounts and went out recently, and told me I shouldn't buy one for at least a month. Something about the bolt being too high causing preload like you said.

Just food for thought.
But after hearing that I almost want to switch to prothane products instead.
