Pretty sure it's in here:

Do an advanced search for "motor mount flip" in the LS4 section and you'll find a few mentions of it.

It's super easy. Yank the two bolts holding in the dogbone and set the dogbone aside. Those are 15mm. Loosen the 3 bolts on the motor mount (2 are 15mm, the other is obviously smaller). Reinstall one bolt and nut through the MM bushing and really tighten. With the help of a screwdriver, lube the perimeter of the bushing...prying the edges away to get the wd40 in there. Once it's good & lubed, take your choice of 15mm tools (breaker bar w/socket, socket wrench, open end wrench, etc.) on each side of the bushing and push towards the engine. You may need to hold it when you get oh so far and spray more lube in there. Sooner or later it will break free & spin...the older the car the harder it will be to get to move due to the "baking" process that is our engine bay.
After it's done, ff the bushing comes somewhat out of the channel, just reset it with a screwdriver and hammer. Undo the bolt, reinstall the dogbone, and tighten everything up...including the bolts holding the MM to the radiator support.
That's all there is to it.

I had a tuff as hell time doing it to. Then my friend came over and flipped it in 2 seconds 
. My tires dont screech at all now they just grip and it pulls alot harder, I would not be suprised if you gain 10-15ft torque from doing this.

thanks for all the help folks, finally did this along with that air box mod. gonna drive it here in a bit to see the difference.

UPDATE: Just an update, drove around the car for a good 15 minutes and you can feel a difference when launching! it feels to me that it launches almost twice as hard as before! As for the air box mod, if you step on it WOT, you can hear wind sucking in real nice...sounds like a mini mini turbo
lol. I recommend these mods to everyone!
