Jim,

How are your motor and trans mounts?  If they allow the engine/gearbox =
combo to shift out of line when under high torque, the u-joints could =
move out of proper alignment, but then when power is reduced, things =
would shift back into position.  If you put the car on jackstands and =
run it to this rpm in top gear (might not be a bad idea to remove the =
drive wheels and tires if you=E2=80=99re sure they=E2=80=99re balanced) =
there won=E2=80=99t be much load on the engine, so if the vibration is =
due to deformation of the mounts, the vibration should not appear.
