the flywheel was resurfaced when I did the clutch swap, they check for balance, so I doubt its that.
Was unable to accomplish anything today, but will tomorrow, have some free time.
no one else gonna chime in? MJR? primetime?

"Vibration issue. been this was for over a year, but has progressively gotten worse, HARDCORE vibration. So bad the nitrous bottle mount in the trunk shakes loudly at high RPMS. vibration starts around 3k rpm, and gets worse as you go up. Doesn't matter if clutch is in, or out, at speed, sitting still ETC"

Well 302 sounds like we are both in the same boat on the vibration issues. Mine does the same thing right before or at 3k all the way up. I have mine down to the bottom end because I have had different everything except the rotating assembly. I have an extra crank sitting in my garage but that has been through a broke rod so I don't really want to mess with it. I do however have a stock motor comming to me soon so hopefully that fixes it. I went as far as welding my stock trashed motor mounts to make them solid. That helped a little but the motor itself still has issues.....Good Luck!!!

no knocking that I can hear over the exhaust, run's alright, still some stumbling and odd ****. tuner said it won't be perfect because the cam is SOOOO aggressive...... yea right.... and its not consistent, its a odd stumble, sometimes while accelerating, sometimes while just driving down the road, holding a consistent speed it will sputter. its ****ing odd.
it has always burned a bit of oil. but nothing extreme. now that the rear main is dripping, im sure It will need oil soon.
the day I drove it and made this thread, I would be cursing for a bit, and all a sudden smell oil, like it hit the exhaust, so I down shifted and nailed it for a bit, and smoke came into the car........ so yea..... burning oil from the midpipe, its stained with oil now.
argh, damn it all!
I'm broke, I cant afford this shizz right now. car is gonna have to sit I guess. I cant risk it coming apart and me getting hurt.
ugh. thanks justin, I guess we are both SOL
