I sent Jody a video of it going down the dragstrip hoping he would post it. Ran a 12.60 @120. I had to let off as it kept spinning the tires. Beat a Hellcat ? and a Trackhawk ? Alot of fun for a 4200 lb sled. Car now has 4500 miles on it. Lost a power steering pump on the first night of Power Tour. The front seal went out and everyone says that never happens on the LS9 pumps. The pulley has it's own bearing and the pump has a spligned shaft so there is no side load. Of course I notice it after two Margaritas on a rainy night at the hotel. Faithful traveling companions Steen, Randy and Brian Thomson jump in to solve the problem. Steen had tools, Brian called the main parts guy for the Hendrick dealerships as we are in North Carolina. Parts guy gets on computer from home and says there is not 1 LS9 pump in any of their dealerships. Brian reminds him that there will be one in a front drive accessory drive that he had sold them. The guy goes into the dealership at 6am, robs the pump out of the kit and brings it across the street to the hotel. I was in my room waiting for Brian to call me so we could go over to the dealer but instead the call I get is for the keys as they have the pump installed. The luck of their being a pump right across the street and being with about the only guy that knew it was there was amazing.
