Oh I won't argue that. In fact I wouldn't have run it either with a vibration. I was just giving you grief, mainly due to the low turn out of at most 6 people out of what seemed like 20 signups.
As for breaking in the motor....I left the place (leaving island road turning onto 46) in a screaming from dead stop powerslide. So yes I run it easy, and I run it hard. I do know I left some on the table, with the launches and the fact that I didn't manually shift the car going down the track. (If I had I probably would have locked up the brakes and spun because the left foot would have went for a clutch) I've been trying to figure out the RPMs that won't overwhelm the tires on loading up the converter while using the foot brake. I know its quicker.
I've got an LT1 driveshaft laying around as well if you want to try another one providing your spare still vibrates and nothing else is wrong. I could bring it down for ya.
