All lt1's do that at 80 or so. The steel drive shafts that came stock suck. You can fix it by getting an ls1/1le aluminum shaft.

Shaft? Yes you can be right..
I noticed that.. it do it first or second gear.. When I accelarate with full gas..
At Higher RPM it starts so much... Still cuz of stock Shaft?

ok for one, he said when he accelerates hard from 0 to 60, he said nothing about 80 plus miles an hour.

also, he said its effected by rpm. the driveshaft is not effected by rpm, only by the speed of the car.

try not to post if you have no idea what your talking about.

about the vibration... have you done any work to the motor? ie anything that would cause it to be balanced wrong?

I have never noticed at 80mph. Mycar has 19" and low profile tyres.. they are so hard no comfort..

I noticed it 1st gear and 2nd gear. When I tried shift to 1 and then pump full gas.. It started vibrates so much..

When it comes engine.. it has blown head gasket before and repaired.. And Auto trans has been reviesed it burned 3th clutch
And donknow any relation with that but, When I stop and Gear is at "D" car vibrates a bit I shift it N it stops.. No smoke or like at if you say blown head again..

Sorry it has been a bit long message..

hmm, this is a weird problem. ide say the vibration at stop could be related but not necesarily. is there any missing with the ignition at any rpms?

Yes its weird

Im not sure any relation but sometimes at 1500rpm cars RPM is like up-down at 1250 1500rpm when it happened I tried to shift it N then its like stop doing.. Confusing things.. LT1 has problems much..
..
But i notice it not always and when the engine is cold..

Today I stop.. Shift 1st gear. Then hit the gas after it comes 4500rpm upper It really vibrates..When I drag with a Crossfire it happened too.. Very disturbing Vibration..

Check your motor/ transmission mounts and your harmonic balancer first.

The harmonic balancer is mounted on the front of your crankshaft. It is also a pulley, it would be the largest, lowest, centered pulley on the front of the engine. That's the best I can explain it. It's got rubber in the center of it, look at it and visualy inspect it to see if it's broken or anything looks out of the ordinary. Grab onto it and pull and twist it to see if there's any movement (there shouldn't be).
