Question Car shaking

Last night I ran with a TL and after the race my car started shacking when I accelerate only between 35-50. After that I car rides fine. I took it today to balance my tires, get an alignment and put it on a lift to check the axles/arms but I’m still having the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do next.

Beats me, I kinda had some sluggishness and hesitation 2 days ago so I put some BGK44 in my fuel tank and has improved, but it will take till the tank is empty though to see if it really cleaned everything.

I'll try that but I've never seen a problem like this in any car. I even put my stocks on to see if it was the rims.

I wish it was. The shaking is bad.
