as long as your rear mount is in good shape it shouldn't be a problem. people run aftermarket traction bars all the time, especially with boosted setups.

it doesn't really at all. just designed to keep the engine from rocking back and forth. the side mounts hold the weight of the engine. since you still have the rear mount in place it's really not going to make much a difference.

True statement Im looking to bolt on my front torque mount pretty soon just gota weld on my bracket first. Make sure you get the side mounting tabs as well when you get the traction bars.
