The clutch and the whole assembly is new right?

Is it the transmission? Maybe it was going and with the new hp it finished it off??? Better now than on the dyno though. Can you tell where the sound is coming from?

Sorry to hear man! Once it's fixed and you're cruising around, it'll all be worth it. Just sucks getting to that point sometimes.

Ok good news!! Problem was the torque tube bearing failed. Not sure how that happened but keep fingers crossed that the repair fixes it permanently. The car is being put back together and will be finished by today or tomorrow. Now finally I can look forward to the dyno tune.

RESULTS ARE IN!!!!!!!!! Yes they are just dyno numbers but holy s... its fun to drive. I did do a 6 grand pull not quite full throttle.....still scares me a little and it put a huge smile on my face. When I replace my stupid CAI for a better one it will drive better and give me a little more power. I am totally happy with Tony's package and the good news is that everything I bought can be used on a bigger cube short block in the future IF I want more power. Here is the dyno graph

451 HP
401 Torque
