Schumaker vs TTI Headers

Question, The shims, are they needed for the TRI-Y install on the 440?
I used them for more clearance for the oil pump and filter. The Schumacher mounts could move from the torque down at the track, just like any other rubber mounts. Also install a Schumacher torque strap. I did not want solid motor mounts. Have never had an issue with this set up.
