whining noise... can you verify?

well... ive had my fun in a parking lot doing drifts and 360 degree donuts

after that, it now makes a whining noise
-it is audible after 50+mph
-it makes the noise when i apply light throttle, grows a tad bit louder when i apply heavy throttle
-when i deaccelerate, the noise stops
-when i slowly come to stop in neutral with brake, the whining noise "dies down"

also, this morning i cold started my car without warming up, i was at a stop sign and wanted to go left, when i went ahead, the car bogs.

clutch? power steering pump? transfer case?

i was thinking the alternator whine at first, but then he said it's only at certain speeds. so that's when i ruled it out..alternator whine is all the time.

Question

Mine is the same too but instead I didnt do no donuts or anything like that. When I drive it normally, it doesnt make any noise, but when I stomp on the gas all the way down its starts to whine up louder and louder. It is really bothering me. It just started happening today. What do you guys think it is??
