So that tells me that you have minor vacuum leaks at the connections and or tubes themselves.
Another common place for a vacuum leak is the oil fill tube that runs from the trunk to the engine. It can rub the edge of the body where it passes into the engine bay. (hope that makes sense).
These are closed system engines with crankcase vacuum rather then pressure.
So anytime you see oil or oil dirt residue on the upper engine area, around the intake, or the AOS you have vacuum leaks.
If your vacuum gauge needle is rock steady when you test then there is most likely no valve train issues. I think your low vacuum is all down to minor vacuum leaks.
With the way your car acts in the video and that fact that it is smooth at any RPM until you give it more gas. Vacuum leaks don't typically act that way once your at around 2000-3000 RPM so I think it may be more of a fuel delivery problem rather then an air metering problem. Low fuel pressure or low volume. Once you step on the throttle there is a momentary lag in the fuel systems ability to meet demand. thats the theory anyway.
Although a faulty MAF (which you have changed out so it is most likely good) or a faulty Throttle position sensor (which has not been tested) could have the same affect.
A confusing thing to me is that you have no misfire codes and your Durametric shows no misfires. Are you certain it is misfiring????
I would do a fuel pressure test at the rail (which I see your preparing to do) next.
There is a spec. for key on engine off. and a spec. for engine running.
If you need those spec. let me know I will look them up.
Sorry I do not know the thread size for the fuel rail test valve.
unbelievable that the sent you a fuel test kit without correct fittings.

Hi blue and thank you for your reply, and also thank you to everyone else who has replied so far.
When I say misfiring- I mean that’s what it feels like, but yes the computer shows no misfires. I had a very similar feeling recently on my motorbike and it turned out to be a coil pack but I thought the best way to describe it at the start of all this was like a misfire. I am also thinking it is probably a fuel issue.
Just to clarify- do you mean that I probably have some small vacuum leaks to address but this will not cause the present problem? Or the small vacuum leaks are the problem? Or are you thinking it is probably the fuel pump, or the regulator, or a injector O ring maybe?
…. And yes please do provide the measurements for the fuel Pressure test if you can buddy Tia ��
Pps- sorry IDK but my pic converter on my iPhone is only letting me compress and not letting me resize unfortunately
