Please help ASAP!

hey guys... I know that the gods will frown on me for posting this here... but I know a lot more people are in this section then drivetrain... and I need an answer by morning or I'm screwed... here's what I posted: (I have an LT1 ... but I just hope someone can help me!)
-------------
Hey guys.... I'm in a total panic right now... here's the deal

I ordered my Mcleod street twin off of ebay... it came complete in the box as stated... took it to my chevy guy down the street and he installed...

Now i have the most horrible vibration almost anywhere in the power band... but really really bad above 2000 rpm

Because the kit came all together, I assumed that the flywheel and everything were balanced... was I wrong in this assumption???? I hope this is the problem, becuase I'm pulling it out again w/ him tomorrow afternoon... and I'm pretty much clueless right now... please help.. I have to have my Z back on the road by this weekend!!! (the whole car shakes... its almost violent

Thanks as always guys!

DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THAT.

It's probably a pilot bearing that got ****ed up in the install or the flywheel outta balance. The same thing happened with my 396..it shook so badly that it broke the oil pump shaft that runs off the cam.
