Default vibration-flywheel?

Ok, so I asked a lot of people this question and I am not sure I got the right answers. I guess I might just be worried. I did a head swap (changed the balancer at the same time) and 2 days later, the car started vibrating like crazy after a few burn outs. It drove perfect for those 2 days before hand. It vibrates with higher rpm, no matter whether its in gear or not, moving or not, all variations. A lot of people say I threw a weight from my flywheel or I that maybe bent it when I did the burn out. At idle, it barely vibrates, but when I rev it up to over 3K it vibrates like crazy. I can drive it, but only in the 2k rpm range. I just parked it for now. I drove it like that to get home and probably went 15 miles. Do you think it's the flywheel? Did I damage something else in the engine? I replaced the clutch probably 40k miles ago. Should I not drive it at all like this?

It was a brand new professional products balancer. It drove fine for 2 days, then all the sudden it drove like @$$. The balencer seems tight, but I never really thought that it might be bad. I thought that the solid balencers didn't go bad?

im not sure on that one but it could have spun. you may have to pull the flywheel to see if its ok. how did you put it on? you can f@ck up your thrust bearing or your crank if youre not careful.

Motor mounts are good. Flywheel is stock. 120k miles on it.

if the flywheel is stock you can not throw a weight, its cast. i say check the balancer out, make sure that bolt is tight, but if it is vibrating and the balancer was not tight it will look like the one in the other balancer post thats going on. i have a pic there. how tight did u make it?
