I’m trying to figure out how my neighbor gets his, Pontiac G6 to pass inspection; things literally rotting in half. I swear, you can see it move like a, slinky when he pulls away from the curb.

Same way it happens here. He probably knows a guy who is dumb enough to risk the fines and the liability
Yeesh, could have had that Sniper system plumbed and wired inside of a weekend in my driveway.
Don't turn up the wick too far with that 5.9L mag motor. I ate three of those a999 transmissions with a 400 horse 360. You'll be around 300 with the setup you have.
I had to talk myself out of a, steam roller cam kit from, Hughes Engine and leaving the engine stock aside the intake and headers. Saved a few hundred and ordered a trans rebuild kit instead. Figure between the fresh 5.9Mag and 8.25”, I’d be sure to blow the trans sooner than later.
With my work schedule and lack of experience with a project that deep I imagine I'd be in the same position had I taken it on myself. They got one guy there qualified for the work, so patience has had to be a virtue lol. If I lived close enough, I would've been more than happy to hire you to do the work. I admire your knowledge and expertise on these cars.
I'd work for beer. Lol
I think it's safe to say you found your mojo!

Thsts why I'm opposed to regular inspections for normal vehicles. The worst offenders are always going to know ways around it.
Don’t have pictures but, cars back on four wheels and made a successful shakedown through the city.
Stopped and ate to let the gears cool down and then, did it all over. Will put a couple freeway passes on them tomorrow going to and from work and then, should be all set to hammer the gas pedal and see how they really feel.
Car definitely gets to speed faster and with less throttle, very handy since 75% of my driving is through city streets. Think I’ll actually end up with better MPG around town with the 3.21 gears. They feel like a sweet spot for the trans gear ratios and 318LA factory cam.

Still have the stock torque converter in it?
Rear end is little boy approved.
Another issue is, the HS converter I have (because there’s little to no Lock up option around) is just sold as a a904/999 lock up “High Stall” converter….so, the stall speed is a mystery. So that will be fun to find out, could be completely unusable or make the car 5x more fun.

for now. I have high stall converter that I’ll likely swap in when I put the 5.9Mag in the car. I haven’t gotten on the converter yet with the new gears.
