Default Sllight vibration

There is a slight vibration at 1200 rpms and there is no hint of it before or after all the way to 6500. The vibration happens if the clutch is pushed in or not so I would guess it's an engine vibration?

The car is an 03 z06 and is supercharged. There are 4 codes that will put on a cel and then go away. The codes were p0172 p0175 bank 1 and 2 rich and then two hvac codes b0361 b0441. No idea why it would say the car was running rich, the codes didn't come up while I step on it or anything just when I'm putting around town.

Do you think you are being slightly oversensitive?

My Corvette vibrates from 0 to 6000+ RPMs.

I'm not sure if I'm being oversensitive, but I've had terrible luck when it comes to my car and stuff going wrong at every turn. The car is making just around 600 hp on a stock engine and there is a definite vibration/drone at only 1200 rpm. It's not an exhaust drone or anything either since it is with the cutouts closed through stock exhaust. I'm just trying to make sure it isn't signs of something that I can prevent.

My stock A4 'Vette has a slight vibration at around 160mph. I have tried dropping it into 3rd but it doesn't go away.

If I had a 600hp motor I would probably get a vibration at around 1,200 rpm.

Sorry, don't mean to be flippant, but when you tune a motor to that extent you are bound to get ancillary side effects.

I'm sure NASCAR vehicles have vibration periods at certain rpms.

Alright, i appreciate it. I've just had enough issues to last a lifetime and didn't want there to be another big one like a blown engine.

Any idea why I would get banks too rich out of no where? I've never gotten the codes before and like I said, it did it while I was putting it around town not going WOT which I had done about an hour prior.
