    I also need a cam sensor.

    I'm in the middle of totally redoing my bathroom, wrapping up wedding planning and trying to work in between all of this. Hectic but I love it!

      Cam sensor replaced and confirmed that the code stayed off. 

      We are all good except the speed sensor issue.  I'll fix that when I replace the differential.

        I've been driving the car a lot!

        To do list:

        - Empty catch can.

        - Pop the new diff in and speed sensor.

        - Order new wheels and tires.

        - Get an alignment.

        - Clean wide band O2 sensor or order a new one if cleaning it doesn't work.

        - Put the hood back on.

              Nothing too crazy. 

              These for the front with a 10/15mm spacer running 245s

              http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-531-Wheels-17x9-Platinum-p/53179080.htm

              For the rear running 265s

              http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-531-Wheels-17x10-Hyper-Silver-p/53170083.htm

              I'm debating on the platinum (link for the front) or the hyper silver (link for the rears).  What do you guys think?

                    They don't sell a gold rim in those sizes.  Kinda mad but I can always paint them.

                    I just ordered the platinum becasue there was a sale on them and the hyper silver 17X9 was sold out.  Here goes nothing!

                    Also got CAtuned 15mm spacers for the front, hub centric rings and I am about to order some g-Force Rival's.  245 and 255 both 40/17

                        You're going to love the Rivals. I couldn't believe the difference they made on Brad's truck, night and day over the Nitto NT01's. Hook much better in a straight line too.

                          Great to hear!! 

                          Now I hope I'm okay with the platinum look for a while...

                            So, when are you snapping halfshafts? :)
                            Did you end up getting the CAtuned ones?

                              Not yet but I will in the future. I'm not looking to beat the crap outta this. Controlled fun. If that's possible

                                With 500+ Ft-Lbs and 265 rivals your halfshafts will not last long 
                                In for placing a bet on how long ;)
                                It's actually pretty cool to see twisted splines on a halfshaft.

                                    Something has to give...just hope it's the tires and nothing in the driveline!

                                      As long as you are not consistently launching, I wouldn't be 1 bit worried. Looks like you are more into roll racing anyways.

                                        That's what I like to hear! I know how flimsy that rear end is so I don't want to push it with burnouts and banging gears.

                                          If you want to do burnouts, buy a Camaro!
