    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!
