Has anyone ever seen this before? I have had a high speed vibration in my car (80 and above). I noticed some slop in the slip yoke, so I took it apart to put in a new bushing and and seal and do the pressurized bushing mod(to feed transmission pressure to the bushing), and I found this.... Not sure what would cause this. Some background on the car: It has a vortech supercharger, 355 horse power and 399 torque, stock 4r70w transmission and 3.73 gears. I drag race it in the summer time, it has run a best of 12.14 @ 115. Any idea what would cause this? Any help would be appreciated.

The driveshaft vibration probably did this. The slop in the yoke may have been caused by the driveshaft pounding the bushing and a broken tailshaft housing would be the next to go.

Do you have the stock transmission mount? Very stiff mounts can also put added stress on brittle housings...

Yes I have the stock mount. I just ordered a frpp aluminum drive shaft. Hoping this will remedy my issue. Along with a new housing.
