I was driving in 1st gear 2500rpms gave it a quick stab on the gas then let off. Then i pushed the Throttle to move foward and the exhuast was SUPER DRONE sounding the same sound if to flowmaster from two cars get close to each other. the throttle felt like shit, it did not want to accelerate, 2000rpm and that was it. All guages were fine. fuel pressure, oil. At idle the motor has a slight vibration like the harmonic balancer is lob sided. ??/???

I hate diagnosing cars over the internet. It could be anything.

.... ...Check your plug wires and see if one came off....To check for vacuum leaks spray carb cleaner CAREFULLY around your engine, if the idle changes dramtically you found your vacuum leak!....If you think its your bottom end do a compression check..

Sounds like someone put a bananna in your tailpipe...JK. Seriously..look for the simple things first...like make sure you have a fresh set up plugs/wires/cap&rotor.
Good luck...
