Running over 790HP in a factory block at 7200 RPM. Limit the movement at the front. The rest is just along for the ride.

X3 on the retention device vs solid mounts.
I have done the chain, the cable, and the "fork" and "slotted plate".
The last has the easiest adjustment and seems to do the job the other systems did in the past. I have had a retention device on my engine since the late 60s when the Chebby mounts were failing and I did not know if the Pontiac mounts would fail like the Chevy mounts.

Lots of higher RPM Launches, 2 Muncie Trans failures, 3 8.2" Pontiac rear axles, 1 Chebby 12 bolt axle failure, THEN I WENT FORD 9" AND HAVE BEEN THAT WAY FOR MANY YEARS. The retention devices work.
