My motor mounts have been fine for 10k miles.
I would cook a little PS fluid... Not overflowing but some would evaporate and moisten up the PS reservoir around the cap... Wrapped the PS lines nearest to the exhaust housing and it's helped alot.
For oiling, mine is gravity fed and getting a healthy dose of oil. To prevent some smoke, I'm running an electric scavenger pump to pull... To keep good oil pressure, I'm also running an oil cooler positioned parallel to the street in my air dam that gets air on its way to the radiator in the stock position... Always have good oil pressure and good temps.

I have a modified PTK bracket, I have to have my factory alternator rebuilt (using the PTK one still) before I can try out my Smokinhawk bracket.
As far as the mount.... I had this "mystery smoking" coming from the driver's side for the longest time, and I couldn't figure out what it was. It was the rubber in the mount. Seems like Countryboy may have had the same happen to him.

I couldn't make boost on our local dynojet very well; only saw like 10.2psi... and that was back on a MAF tune, so it was fueling for about 11.0:1 at 17-18psi and pegged my wideband fat with only 10psi. Still made 590rwhp and 575rwtq suprisingly. Tonight while I was out on an errand it was running nice in the 59degF air. Even after getting the tires hot a few times in second it still wouldn't hold second gear at all. I was seeing 16.5psi in 3rd gear so I will prolly back the eBoost down a tad. I absolutley love the car and driving it. I couldn't have done it without the help of the guys in RPM and of course LS1tech. CAM also did the swap for me down at their shop in Durham. Jeff Creech helped out a lot after my first engine went south. I can say though, that now after a career change I am no longer travelling and my car will never sit at another shop. ....Well, excluding a chas. shop
