Default Weird Crazy Vibrations when VTEC engages.

Hey today I've been experiencing some mad vibrations when VTEC crosses over. It just started a little while ago. Once I go into VTEC powerband the car just uncontrollably shakes and vibrates like no tomorrow. I pulled over and looked underneath the car, didn't see anything?? Inspected the two front tires for anything, nothing?? What do you think this could be?? Could it have anything to do with my front suspension being uneven?? Whereas one coilover is lower than the other. Another thing is I have very bad camber in the front, is that a possibility?? But I would think it would've always done this if that were the case?? Axles??? Or another thing is could it be that there is too much oil in the oil pan?? The reason I'm asking this is because I added oil today and the oil was so clear that it was hard to read the level on the dipstick. Any positive input would be greatly appreciated. This is really got me dumbfounded.

I don't think VTEC is the cause. Shaking on accelleration is usually due to bad axles. Particularly the inner CV joints.

now check this out today I drove the car and I went into VTEC powerband and no shaking. Thats whats really got me confused, do you think it was just because the car was tired or something, I did put alot of miles on it yesterday. I think I do have a bad axle so I'll check it out.

I've had this problem in my H22 hybrid. it was my inner cv joint on the driver's side.

yeah you know what man i think it is that axle to tell you the truth cuz sometimes ill hear little knocks or clicks from that side but its never been consistent, so I never pinpointed it to that axle. But thanks guys for all the responses.
