Default Any performance difference going from oem to poly mounts?

still running the oem tranny and engine mounts on the car and they do alot of twisting and flexin im sure when i launch, is this absorbing enough power to amount to anything off the line? or maby its helping me not hit the tires any harder than i already am

and please dont post if you dont have knowledge on the subject, i dont need peoples guesses, i can do that as well

it will help the car react quicker, your 60ft will improve. It may not be a world of difference. but it will help. It will be a rough ride on the street though....
