i deff change the motor mounts. they are basically right there. I honestly wouls stay away from thew polyurethane motor mounts. A lot of memebers complain about them and vibration. I would sit with a stock replacement mount. I know a few people using stock mounts in the tens and 9's so you should be fine.

i have poly motor and trans mounts on my car, torquer v2 cam. It definately shakes the whole car at idle and vibes a little while cruising. Its not that bad and i didnt build my car to ride nice and not shake.

Well I went ahead and order the trunion upgrade kit and I also ordered some mwc solid motor mounts. I hope to wrap this up next week so I can take it to the dyno and get it tuned.

On another note I am playing with the idea of selling my ls6 intake and upgrading to a fast setup if anyone is interested. Its complete and comes with a ported tb 450$.

Well I am playing the parts waiting game for the next couple of days. I am now looking at different styles of intake manifolds. I know the most popular intake that everyone will suggest is the fast 92/92 setup. I am a bit curious with the professional products 96mm typhoon intake manifold, I know the older ones had issues with sealing up correctly but it seems like for the money it isn't a bad intake manifold (also comes with fuel rails). I've found very few dyno sheets but it seems like it doesn't make that much less than a fast 92/92 setup. So basically my ls6 manifold has sold. I listed that thing up on ebay and everybody and there brother wants to buy that thing. So over the next couple of days I need to figure out what intake manifold combo I want to go with 
Edit* I see alot of carb intakes is there any real advantage to going to a carb setup especially since my car is already fuel injected?

Well I decided to go with the typhoon 96mm intake manifold and 96mm throttle body. I decided to upgrade the maf to a larger one and also bought a 98mm lid while I was at it. I plan to get the car tuned here in 10 days so plan to see some numbers soon. I decided to go with the typhoon mainly because of the price and I plan to build another block here in the short future so i thought an aluminum intake would be a bit better for a larger shot of nitrous, these also already have the nitrous boss ports. So expect those dyno numbers soon!

I plan to run the manifold, I am aware of the possibilities of heat soak, if I run this manifold and decide I don't like it I will buy a fast 92 setup for the car. Thank you for the advice though 
. I did find a couple dyno sheets from looking for info on google and most people that installed this did pick up some over an ls6 intake manifold. Like I said I bought it mainly because of the fact that I'll be running a direct port setup on my car and it already has the boss ports and the fact that is was half the price of a fast 92 setup. So even if it doesn't make as much power as the fast i'll be fine with it because i'll still have my nitrous.

a little comparison picture between the fast 92 and a stock ls6 manifold.
I am trying to figure out, the fast intake manifold doesn't have a mounting prevision for this, does that mean it is not necessary?

SO i found your best friend for cleaning up your block 
Also if you hook 1/4 hose up to it say good bye to the coolant inside of your head bolt threads!
I got the first head on the car, it goes back so much quicker when you know what you are doing! I only had a couple bolts in on this picture but I've got it all torqued down now.

Well I didn't get anything done on the car at all today I had to move a bunch of these fellows to there new home.
I did however get the last couple of parts that I was waiting for so that I can finish my car. I believe it will be a long monday night and a really long tuesday but I am going to try and have it 100% back together by tuesday....we'll see how well that works :p
Right now I have a ton of parts that are all ready to go on the car sitting in my office, and even more out in the garage :/

well tomorrow is the day that my car is going back together so I should have a whole bunch of pictures tomorrow, I am sort of reconsidering installing these motor mounts sense I found a write up and it says you have to drop the a/c compressor and the alternator. That seems like a pain in the butt
