Default Torn Poly Motor Mount?

wasgood fellas.. had a question about my poly motor mount, i bought the Intense Racing polyurethane motor mount for my impy, and today while i was messing with the headlights i noticed the poly mount was like torn, looked like the engine rocked so much that it ripped the sides a bit, its still a whole solid piece but the sides are like torn, ill post pics tomorow, but has anyone else had this problem?
im also getting weird hesitation when i push the gas at any speed, regular or fast.. no idea if its just my transmission slowly saying goodbye cause i know for sure that is doing some of the hesitation, or if its the motor mount..

thanks..

semi-solid mount under near continuous acceleration. Consider it a wear item.

Much cursing went into the install. Especially the shorter dogbone.

Mine's a little clunky. All those runs at the track and on the street probably have a little to do with it though.

lol u guys didnt read it the way i did?





well here are some new pics, i was about to wash the car wen the "engine oil low, add oil" message came on (what a surprise, NOT..)
and i noticed it was ripped more!
so i said **** it ima mess with it and try to at least fix it for a few days till i buy a new one...

before:




fully torn as you can see


and how i temporarily "FIXED" it.. i did the "Motor mount flip" AGAIN




wat do u guys think? should i contact intense and see what they can do? or u think theyll just give me the "well it wasnt designed for your engine yaddi yaddi yaddi" i mean i know guys puttin down more power than me with 3800s that have had no problems..

From memory, as I know nothing about the 3800's, don't they use two of the poly mounts to locate the block? Also, I would be pretty surprised if many of the blown 6's make as much torque as the LS4, that is what puts the stress on the mounts.
