think you already know but I had to pull my trans again found my pilot bearing whole race was pushed out grinding around in there. I must have been too aggressive installing the trans, I did have to do it on the floor(yeah thats my excuse). I also got a y pipe fabbed up dual 3inch y pipe that goes to a 3.5" catback.
I am back on the road daily driving it, I have a clunk in the front end and need to order a shift ****/boot and I still need to order a digital dakota(for some reason I never got around to ordering it.
I had some fun with a buddies camaro that runs 11.5, the vid doesnt give him justice he didnt get as much traction that run, he is usually closer but it was the only vid I got. I had trouble with the clutch fluid getting too hot, thought I was missing 3rd but then I noticed the clutch peddle getting soft. I now have that line all nice and heat wrapped.

those roller pilot bearings are ggaaayyy. they break really easily. you cant even let the trans hang there to put the bolts in without trashing the rollers (well, maybe YOU can..).
i duno if there are brass bushings available, but i'm on pilot #3
