^^If you don't want to track it then the LS1 DS will work for you well.

You should check out the CM Strange, I think mine was about $300 last year when the car was making one of it's yearly visits to SpeedInc.
That water pump I sold you a few years back still holding up? Rick

Are there online vendors who carry that driveshaft? Do you deal with SpeedInc often? I'm kind of interested in their Cadillac cam.

Yep, the water pump is still working, and it's virtually still new. My car has pretty much been on jack stands since I got it out of storage a few years ago. My brother thinks the fuel pump we put in it to replace the factory original may already have gone bad. That kind of sucks. I'm thinking about getting the racetronix kit. I live in Michigan, and my car is in Kentucky, so I don't very often get a chance to mess with it. I do remember that replacing the fuel pump was a pain. I'll probably drop the rear end next time around.
