yep. have never beat on the car since i finished it. nailed the throttle in 3rd gear. started spinning the tires. and it flung the driveshaft, cracking the tailhousing and bending the driveshaft. luckily it was the rear u joint that went. otherwise i would of probably flipped it over had it been the front . it has the spicer u joints on it. will be like a 1 week waiting period to get another driveshaft built.

well, bad news. i may not be able to take the TA on the cruise. i just finished doing the !EGR and !AIR and when my friend was putting in the block off plates, one of the bolts broke. so the car is sitting in my driveway and it sounds like an old school truck with exhaust problems. its ok though cuz my pacesetters should be here on the 27th.(at least thats what the tracking thing says) if any of you guys can help me out before the cruise, i would really appreciate it, if not, then i guess ill just catch a ride with my friend.

drill the dam thing out. Or since your getting headers get an a$$ load of JB weld and stick that little plate on there and see if that works.

Ha, I hope you dont break anything man, but I know there should at least be one other LT1 there. Thats cool that you guys are coming down. It looks like the weather is gonna be nice and we're gonna have a good turnout.

See you Sunday.

My car decided to freak out on me also. The SES light came on and I went and had it checked and I am throwing like 3 codes. So she's running a closed loop and I hope to have it knocked out by Sunday. But I am still in.
