Assuming you have LT headers to go with those free flowing heads, probably want some poly mounts so you don't get contact with the frame. I've been using energy suspension mounts with minimal extra vibration

Solid.

Not mushy stockers, but not that solid like a motor plate.

After I installed the ES mounts and transmission mounts, I noticed a minor increase in vibration, but it wasn't objectionable. I would imagine, however, that a solid mount would be a completely different story. Also, I could be wrong, but there might be a possibility of creating false knock retard issues, with a solid mount.

I have never noticed it being anything terrible, but I have a very small, tame cam.

lulz... you're like gizzymo comparing that stock eliminator crap to the every day street car on here. Polys are plenty for about 110% of the cars on this forum.
