Several things come to mind to check...

mismatched front to rear u-joint working angles

excessive u-joint working angles (this is the cause of my high speed vibration, I need to raise my entire tranny tunnel for more driveshaft clearance so I can raise both the tranny angle and rear end angle to minimize the total u-joint working angles.)

runout issues on either slip yoke or pinion yoke

worn & loose output shaft bushing in transmission

driveshaft runout / balance problem

If it's speed related and not RPM related as you said (the vibe occurs at a given speed no matter what the gear) that pretty rules out the clutch & flywheel as the problem and points to the driveshaft on back as the source of the problem.

It could also be a wheel, axle, or bearing problem too.
