An outside suspect for oil out of the bell on an LS is the oil pressure sender. Didn't you have problems with that area before? |

Somehow I managed a 12.7 @ 118 anyway.
That's good enough for a title around here.
An impressive run despite your jitters. The car pulled really well after you got it in the right gear.

It ran 14.5 and was probably around 6500 - 6600 pounds at the time.

Torque arm looks good, that trans crossmember is interesting.
I figured Aaron would appreciate that the most since he is the one that noticed the old phone with belt clip last year.
I loled. |

The GMT400 is a great choice for tall people, and no one seems to want the Tahoes or 'Burbs anymore so you can get into a nice one for a great price.

Is it the PowerMax VGT Garrett? If so that's like a $1500 piece new. I'd turn it around and buy something sized appropriately. |

Thanks man! It's been a great weekend rig so far. The 5M does run great. No power at all, but it will almost certainly stick around. Its curve reminds me of a late 80's BMW. |

What tire are you running on a 18x10 that blows off undrivably with 430 ft. lbs. of torque? I suspect that this is a tire problem and not a wheel dimension or drag radial issue.
