How are your motor mounts?Are your vacuum lines long enough?My tree has ever had any issues and I drive the Sport like I stole it,and it's probably making a little more power than yours.Your engine will move a little,but not that much.

The plastic does dry out, could be mounts, specially if the tabs were bent on them and it lets the engine lift to high. That piece is some what centered that it shouldn't be an issue normally.

I'd put a longer vacuum line to the tree on the car and check out the condition of your motor mounts. The motor should move enough to break the vacuum tree.

Check your motor mounts.If they are original,one may be bad.generally the driver side first (on my cars anyway).

You make make a decent hardware store vacuum tree for way cheaper than that overpriced billet . Maybe $20 tops.

Replace all your vacuum lines. Theyre all old, the plastic hard lines are brittle and the rubber hoses are dry. Vacuum hose is cheap. Silicone hose can be had on ebay for decent prices. If you wanna get real fancy like I've thought of doing before you can bend hardlines out of brake line and couple it with rubber hose.
