    New factory mounts work fine, they might even make solid rubber motor mount for them.

    Any of the intakes are overpriced, I'd just make your own with a cone filter.

    You are going to have to redo the whole MAF curve and VE tables already whenever you swap that cam and get a tune.

    Factory motor mounts are not fine they are absolutely the ****tiest ever. But it all depends on what your looking to spend.if you want factory order them off amazon for about 20 to 30 bucks for the lower mounts. For the upper order intense-racing.Com polyurethane motor mount.

    If you want lowers that will never rip and are made to last for performance there 150 a piece. Pm me for for more detail on that.

    I ordered these mounts from ls1tech and they are a bit pricey, but holy cow they are legit! I haven't installed them yet. Once I do I will update my thoughts on them, but they look like they will work amazingly!

    No biggie. They seem to work good, but I also have legit lowers and was told I probably really don't even have to have the upper. I went ahead and put poly ones on the upper anyway just to be sure.

    lol @ Cam thinking stock mounts even poly filled are "fine".

    I have mounts from X11 as well and they're worlds better than stock, too.

    Nice,Ya I'm thinking you really want to address mounts asap,especially if your packing more power than stock.I noticed play in mine, and I am pretty much stock with 3 inch down pipe and magnaflow cat back being only mods.Recently bought car with 107,000 miles on it now it will be a upgrade I do very soon.Of course after shift kit and tranny cooler,lol.

    There is no laughing here, he asked what are good and in many ways the stock mounts are good. They still work, sure they have flaws but without knowing what he is after that is my suggestion. If the vehicle was just joe blow's across the street that wanted a new mount, a few factory mount is the easy option to get them back on the road.

    If you planned to add performance parts and didn't want issues in another 50,000 miles then aftermarket units are something to look into.

    They are awful in any way, even on a stock LS4 car.

    But I don't own one, so I don't know.

    There is no point discussing it anyways, since you're right.
