Default Helpp! Car shaking!!

So i have a built boosted gsr making 389whp at 319ft lbs of torque. Its been running great, i just took a trip out to PA which was lik a 6 hour drive there and back for me. The car ran great except when i was driving on the way back i noticed that if i got heavily into boost, or almost at full boost the car started to shake pretty damn bad. Almost felt like i had an axle going or like all four of my wheels were unbalanced it was so bad...

I dont know what the problem is. Like i said its only when i put a large load on the motor...close to full- or full boost. I have stock mounts however they are filled with inserts, they have been fine for a year now but im thinking maby on just finally broke??

I checked all my axles were good, lugs where tight, wheels were balanced i dont know what els it could be. Its got to be my mounts.

My motor runs find with no knocking or ticking, bearing clearances are good and i have great oil pressure. So i know its not my thrust bearings fro my crank or anything like that...

PLEASE HELP!@ ( Again this ONLY happens/shakes while the car is being put under a large load)

I don't know if this helps but one time I got new rims and tires and the guy I took it too to balance them forgot to put back in the wheel spacers. When I was on the freeway my car started shaking violently. I pulled over and called him to bring them to me when I realized they weren't on there and everything was fine after that. Almost anything can cause vibration though G/L

Sounds like a motor mount to me. Def check them out, Hasport mounts are a win in my book.

What is the easyest way of checking adn identifying a bad mount? rev the motor and watch it to see where it tourqes? Or do i have to take each one of and inspect? cuz that would suck...I looked the mounts over quickly when i had the car on a lift and i didnt really see anyhting that cought my eye...idk.
