Default Will this be holding me back?

I will be doing some upgrades as soon as my stg 2.5 ls6 heads a torquer v3 cam get here. I will also be using a Fast 92 TB and a ported fast 92 intake. I have a slp lid and maf. Will these two be holding me back at all on power? Also will the smooth bellow hook up with the fast? thanks for the help

another question, im putting on some TSP headers and wondering if I should do solid or poly motor mounts? What are the pros and cons to each? I thought I saw someone on here selling their TSP headers because wouldn't work with their poly motor mounts.

I have poly mounts with TSP 1 7/8" headers and have no issues.

Cons with solid mounts - good luck pulling the trans when the solid mounts don't budge and neither will the engine to tilt it down some.
