Default Transmission and diff question

Im getting ready to put my car back together. Is there any issue running the dte brace and the pfadt transmission mount together? If so which would be more beneficial to keeping my drivetrain planted and not bouncing all over the place?

Thanks!

I also am running both. No issues so far. I was questioning the
use of both but was convinced by several drag racers that this
is the way to go to end wheel hop. It has................

I too have both braces. It doesn't take much hop to ruin your day, or in my case, the differential.

DAMN!!,
The Pfadt brace helps prevent the wheel hop.

The DTE differential/transmission strut brace helps prevent the twisting of the two seperate units & helps them hold together as one unit & helps from grenading & breaking of the trans & differential cases.
