Vortec Supercharger
I've wanted to charge mine awhile now. Ring lands are less concerning to me than the trans. Regardless, I'd be the one performing all rebuilds anyways so i guess it doesn't matter what grenades first. But my bet is tranny goes first- powderbrad

1500 front differential - synthetic vs conventional fluid
Diffs get pretty warm when used and thin out like any oil. You can tell a MPG difference??- powderbrad

They probably figure the front only gets a fraction of the use the rear does. So factory fill will be mineral to save pennies. I don't see harm in you adding synthetic.- powderbrad

Catch Can Install *FAIL*
Nuts work as spacers. Not pretty but functional. Unless the spacer was threaded?? I can't remember- powderbrad

Mds issue?
Is there any sensor that picks up exhaust pressure? Would a tune matter? All things tune related are intake based (compression, firing and airflow) Maybe there is somewhere, but on the exhaust stroke all i can think is 02 downstream reading, which again will affect fueling. But nothing...- powderbrad

Gauge Faces
I'd be worried about what else was "fixed" as well. I swear dealers don't even look at these vehicles.- powderbrad

Mds issue?
Balding tires?? :) I could maybe agree that a muffler MAY free up some power (not significant) but can't see it losing power. There's no back pressure on open headers at NHRA races- powderbrad

Factory intake vs. Aftermarket...by the numbers
So the cam can lift only so much, and the heads only flow so much. The engine only produces so much vacuum/ suction through the TB. Has anyone tested the stock intake to see if it can't keep up? If it can them there's really no point I guess. I also have a vararam haha I can see...- powderbrad

Mds issue?
I have a hard time believing a simple muffler swap loses any noticeable power. All the pressure is within the manifold and pipes. The mufflers the last thing at the end if the line and is basically vented immediately. I work with pressures for a living and cant see how the pressure loss 15 ft...- powderbrad

Disaster!!
Starter would t prevent the flex/ fly turning over. I don't think ive ever seen a starter lock up. When they fail they still turn. Can't turn crank with a breaker bar (with or without spark) plugs... thinking MDS failure leading to valve train / timing seizure. A loose chain makes it impossible...- powderbrad
