Default Car vibrates at high MPH in 6th gear.. Is this my Torque arm?

at high speeds in 6th gear, I get a bad vibration that sounds like my driveshaft.
I recently but a BMR K member, 12 bolt and a stronger Driveshaft in.
I am thinking I maight have adjusted my torque are wrong.
I put the magnetic angle finder on the driveshaft and adjusted the torque arm 2.5 degrees.
Could I have done soemthing wrong?

It's going to be either an out of balance driveshaft or too much pinion angle. 2.5 degrees normally shouldn't cause this if indeed that's where it's set. Try taking it back down to 1 degree and see what happens. If that doesn't do it then I would suspect the driveshaft or a U-joint (cups and needle bearings could be worn.)
