I think the vibration is driveline related, because that is the one thing I didnt mark, and it only happens @65-70mph. The side-to-side angle of the driveline might be out a little since I had to modify the crossmember and trans mount alittle (elongated the holes and slots).<br /><br />Also, the clutch needed to be adjusted, it is right off the floor with engagement in 1st, but under boost when power really comes on, 3rd and 4th slip alittle, so I backed the adjustment off thinking the pressure plate was still under tension, did this 3 times or so. Its not bad, but still needs adjustment, and the thing is the more I back it off the harder it is to get it into 1st and 2nd. Somebody throw me a bone here, the clutch only has maybe 5k miles on it and the flywheel was resurfaced at that time. Maybe some grease got on the clutch when I stabbed it.<br /><br />The vibration is my biggest concern at the moment though. Somebody shed some light for me.
