Engine Mounts
The engine mounts are what hold the engine (and transmission) in place in the engine bay. They mount to the chassis in a supportive location. Using stiffer mounts than stock or even solid mounts will eliminate or reduce engine roll on acceleration and allow much more horsepower and torque to reach the ground.

WOT-Tech Billet Engine Mount


http://wot-tech.com/shop/all/1999-n-body-billet-mount/prod_222.html

The stock mount found on 1999 and newer N body cars (Grand Am, Alero, Malibu) was designed for comfort. This WOT-Tech billet engine mount is a drop in solution, designed for performance using Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings and billet aluminum. Very little/no movement from the engine equals better transfer of power to the wheels and more predicatable handling. The included rubber sheets nearly eliminate the vibration transfer from the drivetrain to the car's frame.

FIts 3100, 3400, and 2.4 engines.

Custom - Urethane Filled

One can fill the stock mounts with urethane, which will make them stiffer. In order to do this, one must utilize 3M's #08609 Urethane Window Weld. It'll be exactly the same as using aftermarket stiffer bushings (which do not exist for the Alero).

How-To: Urethane Filled Engine Mounts









For a more bolt-on application, try the Transmission Mount offered by Z-Spec or Milzy, which provides the same essential stiffness of both engine and transmission.
