Call David at Shaftmasters and you'll get great customer service, a great product, and a d/s with no NVH much cheaper than that

I'm guessing this had something to do with it:

Didn't last long. I guess that answers my question about which to do first when I can afford forced induction.

I'd like to get some springs, struts , mounts and a sway bar or save the cash for a down payment on a next gen. Should know in about 6mths. FI would be next on the list and a daily beater.

Ordering a set of 18" by 10" sve drifts with nitto tires tomorrow. Springs, panhard, struts/shocks, and miscellaneous is next at Christmas for a 1" or 1.5" drop - haven't decided yet.
Y'all think 10" wide wheels on the front will stick out bad, or if at all?

Looks like i cracked a piston during a 5th gear pull on the freeway. Getting white smoke and way too much blow by. e85 and stock fuel pump not so good.
Good news is I did not window the block, so I can re use it. Will pull it out and send it to MMR for their 1000hp setup.
New fuel system and clutch as well. Should be good for a while after this.

Driver Side for sure, So I am guessing 8.
I will pull the plugs soon and take a look.
Funny thing other than smoke, You can't really tell. It still drives normal, no sounds of any kind and no check engine light. It dumped half a quart of oil through the breather though.

Barely any. At Idle there is like 5% extra vibration you can kind of feel it.
