Good idea. And if I get stuck in traffic, I'll drive up and down your street, with the dumps open. :mrgreen:

Thats fine. The only time I've ever heard it from outside was on video.

Wait, one other thing. The balancer has a slight wobble. Lingenfelter says its within spec, the belt runs fine, there no vibration or anything, but its there.

That seems pretty common. Either it's not seated properly or it's out of round. Supposedly if it goes straight on higher RPM's it "should" be fine.

Oh okay, I didn't know that. I avoid the forums like the plague. Don't need to deal with the gang mentality crap, plus, I like to do my own thing anyway, regardless of what others say. 8)

Just sent a guy to your snout auction. For whatever reason, he answered my ad while looking for a stock one.

North Bay mislisted the car. They listed it with a manual transmission. http://www.northbaycadillac.com/Vehicle ... 1854861023

Fucking NYC traffic! No wonder there is so much crime! I'm glad I left your fucking insanity traffic city! Okay, now that I have that out... It's official! Only took 12 hours roundtrip. Ali TO'd. And I got the simonize transfer too. Thanks! Also, I'm going to have to get used to this before I do the upper. Whoa! :twisted: As for the mileage, looks like they took it to Service for the inspection and Manhasset for the detail. Also, what's with the big ass rusty bolt? Hit somebody with it and give them Tetanus?

You know that's me on eBay? Haha. Thanks again!

Which bolt are you talking about? Did they leave the rod from my license plate mount in the car?

Feels pretty good, huh? Think its got 10's in it? Maybe super low 11's?

Probably. I opened the glove and out rolled the Tetanus rod of death.

Yeah, it feels really good, def low 11s. I have to take it to the track ASAP! But I'm gonna datalog it first to see it needs anything. The cutouts gained a lot of attention, maybe a bit much, so I'll have to be selective with it's use. Also supercharger has a different whine and heard a rattle. I'm exhausted so I'll check it out tomorrow and make a vid.

Here are some questions...

No tint? WTF? Driving at night sucks without it! How did you drive at night without it?
Same rattles? WTF? Dash area and back somewhere. Seems like GM cheaped out on the same thing, unless it's a coincidence.
No clips for the shroud? I probably should have popped the hood and swapped the clips. Doh! They are probably $2 a piece at the dealer.
Lower bumper fascia trim cracked in the same exact place. I'm starting to see a trend! Didn't order a replacement?
