help: Engine Question

hey yall. im new here... well for posting at least, been reading alotta the great posts and theres just tons of information on this site. ive tried searching for info on this but so far have come up empty.

i have a 89 s5 n/a and with magnaflwo exhaust, 2mm streetport and when i rev the ngine up to about 6 -6.5 rpm it sounds great but after i go any higher than that the engine itself starts to make alotta noise not sure how to describe the noise. at theat point the engine sounds louder than the exhaust. and im just wondering if this is normal or if there is some sort of problem here. it also vibrates a bit not extreme vibrating but there is a noticealbe difference once i get into the rpm range of over 6500. oly thing that comes to my mind is maybe if the rotors are somehow unbalanced or soemthing along those lines. other than that the car runs really awesome. so if u guys have any info that would be greatly appreciated

You need to find out who built the motor, and ask them about it.

It sounds like something is out of balance. Maybe mis-matched counterweights?

It could be you tach is reading low & you're actually hitting the rev limiter.
