Default Fort Worth pro ear needed

I need help. I would really like to find someone with a twin disc clutch, DTE brace and the Pfadt trans brace thing and Pfadt motor mounts.....or as close as possible.
My problem is I hear what I feel is a driveline balance situation but since Ive never had a forged setup with all those other goodies listed I dont know if what I am hearing is normal.
To me the clutch is great, no chatter, not hard to shift...a little touchy but its new...I just hear a noise that sounds strange under load....let off the gas or even depress the clutch and its gone.
I have yet to do a new 4 wheel alignment, tires are brand new and balanced, and all the fluids...trans,oil, and diff are perfect. We did find that someone jacked up the brake line causing it to touch the boot coming from the diff and pretty much gouged it to the point that grease is flinging out and the brake line is almost cut open but we moved it to not touch anymore so I know thats not it.
Anyway I just want an experienced ear to tell me that I either have a problem or to quit whining like a bitch...LOL
Hurst, Euless, Bedford, Ft Worth would be great and I will come to you and take you for a ride to let you hear.
Thanks
Jerry

Jerry, it's my understanding that when you install the Pfadt motor mounts and possibly other urethane driveline support pieces, you will get much more transmitted sound. Vibrations are usually something felt or directly observed and not so much "heard" and there definitely WILL be a bit of a learning curve insofar as becoming familiar with your new drivetrain/engine setup, i.e. a different "feel" or sounds.

You did go with the Fidanza dual disc clutch, right? Impressions?

Yes I did go with the Fidanza twin and aluminum flywheel. I am very happy with it....Ive gotten more used to it and ive wondered if they even put it in cuz it really feels stock. Absolutely no clatter at all. I welcome anyone to check it out if they are local. Im only running 9 lbs of boost to date so Im not abusing it until I feel that its broken in. I dont have anything bad to say about it yet...lets just see what it does at 14 lbs or more.
Im having idle search issues that need to be addressed but I dont know if its because of the 610 lift on the cam, aluminum flywheel, underdrive pulley or combination of all of it but I sure hope its not the flywheel as I would rather do a cam change than to pull that flywheel out.
