Car Vibrates when Accelerating HELP!!!!

What can these be symptoms of? I just put in my BBK today and it was vibrating before I put them in. This just started happening maybe a few days ago and happens upon acceleration.

Notes:

I have not did a wheel alignment or high speed alignment... this may be it but the steering wheel never vibrated for a good 2 solid months since I got the Suspension in.

I also do not have a camberkit either.

Could it be an Engine or tranny mount?

With my mods in sig am I asking for trouble to go to an Acura dealership to look at it?

ITS YOUR ENGINE MOUNTS! It usually shakes and shimmys shifting from 1-2 to 3rd correct? My dealer quoted me 450 to change them.

Wow Gay... It does seem to go away after 60MPH....

Question... I have the AcuraCare Extended warranty that is supposed to be Bumper to Bumper on top of the Powertrain Acura Certification. This was an additional warranty over the 100k powertrain warranty... If it is the Engine mounts would they cover it?

I had the exact same problem and it wasnt my mounts it was the inner cv joints... $900 to fix. basically part of the axle was bad and thats what was causing the vibration. Hope this helps and keep us posted on what happenes... also the dealer has to prove it was the mods to deny warrenty service, so you shouldnt have a problem if you are going in for warrenty work.

After reviewing some threads... I do have the rusty water spots near the mount near my pullies so I'm nearly certain its the Mounts...

Anyone in Jersey know where I should go to get it taken care of? It seems as I may be able to get this taken care of under warranty.
