Am I sharked?

So the moral of all this is that the ZHP is safe to rev to redline without issues with the oil pump nut?

Negative, because the oil pump shaft can still shear off.

I think the moral of the story is, generally speaking, that if you don't track or AutoX your car, you don't have much to worry about.

Gotta love having a car that I can have fun with and at the end of the day, week, month, year, decade....it still works. I can't believe my car is 8 years old and still making sure it's giving new minivans a run of their money...but only by a bit...LOL. Everything is going to have a 0-60 in 5 seconds in no time with technology and competition. But it's not all about just getting to 60. It's about how you got their in the 1st place. And we all know...we get to 60 in full style!

it's funny, cause every car i've ever owned, i wished it was a little faster off the line.

with my ZHP, i don't even care. just pulling from idle and hearing that slight stock exhaust growl makes me happy every time. i let mini vans fly by. i know i got em if i want em. i don't need to flaunt.

Gotta say, this is the first I've ever heard of this. A quick Google didn't turn up much either.

I'll be up in Blacksburg for the Clemson game. I'm 99.9% sure my car is completely stock if you want to take it for a spin opr do some pulls out 460 at some point during the weekend?

VaTechZHP that'd be awesome if we could work it out! I'll send you a PM and we can chat.

Thanks

i'll be up tomorrow night as well. don't know how sober i'll be at all tho. car will more than likely be parked at my buddy's off clay street. if you see a black one with CF splitters and yellow fogs/alternate high flashers. say what up.
