Default 2001 C5 Z06 issue

Hello all! Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.First of all I'll list my mods: Vararam VR-B2, Long tube headers, and Bullets. Today I was doing around a 135 mph pull on a closed course when my engine light came on. Once on it was flashing in and out. When I brought the car back down to 45 mph the light turned off. When stopping I noticed a vibration at low rpms <1000. I could both hear and feel these vibrations. It seems when I rev my car up and let it rev back down the vibrations start. As I'm not too experienced with Corvettes I was wondering what could be the issue? I have attached a video to this post. Thanks for all the help!

Well an unfortunate update I have spotted an oil leak. Seems to be coming from thefront of the engine drivers side and its spilling on a cross member.. If I had my pucks handy I'd jack it up and see what it is.. Oh this could be fun.. Wish me luck lol

Maybe the high revs burned up the power steering pump.

Sounds like a dead cylinder to me and possible internal damage, like a breached block.

A flashing CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) Indicates a misfire situation. If you check the DTCs using the DIC before you turn the engine OFF, you will see a DTC P-0300.
