Front engine mount

Here is another engine mount question. Sorry. The engine rebuild I did last winter outputs 295 HP. I tracked the car 17 days and in combination ran a total 7,400 miles since turning it over. I installed the the "better" 987 front motor mount thinking about the extra HP and torque. I thought I could feel the engine shift as the variable cam timing hit the past week. On the lift today the inspection confirms it is breaking. Is there some better solution or am I stuck going with a semi solid rig.

There are some aftermarket solid polyurethane mounts.

I think Pedro made one at one time too. These two guys are what come to mind. Neither affiliated, as far as me I have the 987 front mount.

I think there is an aftermarket manufacturer of engine mounts on 6speed. I was reading about them yesterday, but can't remember the name. Function-first.com never used them but looks like a decent mount.
