When did it start doing this? Right after driveshaft replacement or swapping out to a 12-bolt?

vibration 50 and up just started doing it, thats why I replaced d/s u joint was moving in and out inside rear driveshaft yoke its was hoseled out, thought that was noise, really dont feel vib its more of a sound kind of like if you have windows up on a car and open sunroof a little you get that concusion sound, or like a really cupped out tire sound and yes tires are new but tried 2 other sets of tires and wheels same sound, if this bushing isnt it will try axel bearings i guess

Ouch! Looks like it even took the tread off that rear tire! That really sucks though. I might have cried if I came out to see that. Now if I had witnessed it there would be a whole other chapter to the story.

When is the first track outing guys? I am anxious to get back there. Dave and I installed my UD pulley the other night and also found out my throttle cable had slack in it. I noticed it before but thought nothing of it as I thought the TB blade was opening all the way regardless. Sure enough it was opening only 80% going off of what the scanner said. I could tell looking at the TB it wasn't going fully open and it was about an 1/8 of an inch from touching my imaginary bump stop. I say imaginary because the guy who initially tuned my car thought it would be a good idea to break the bumpstop completely off. Awesome, I know.
The throttle response is so much better (Jason you will have to check it out now, ha) and it seems to pull a little harder as well. Not expecting big gains from this at the track but maybe pick up another mph or two which should put my car close to where it should be. We shall see.
