After 14 years...vibration gone!!

Thought I'd share the results of trying out a new LS1 drive shaft. After 14 years of driving my Formula I've finally gotten rid of a high speed vibration that has plagued me since I took delivery.
My ride has always had a very noticable, (but not terrible), vibration at highway speeds. Very annoying to say the least. Well after visiting 3 different dealerships when new, 36k miles and 14 years of asking questions and researching here on this site, I tried the LS1 shaft.

It works man!! I had her well above my normal higway cruising speed and no vibrations. 90 felt like 60...hell...close to one hundy felt like 60 with the exception of the windows startin' to suck out!

This site works guys!! Thanks for the help!!
