It goes to the shop tomorrow I'll get her back in 7 to 10 days.
I've never been in love with a car like this, it's like dating a hot ass stripper.....a ton of fun until the bat shit crazy side shows up, with her pimp and the cops.

If you haven't dropped the oil yet, have it analyzed. I should have done that.

I think I lose more sleep over the car than I did the stripper. She was more like a Hertz rent-a-racer. I knew she was not going to be around too long because I worked too much out of town, so I rode it hard as I could while I had it.

Did you find a good local shop?

I did. It's a domestic tuner. He's gonna dig into to get to make sure there's no extra damage. Praying to God that there's nothing more...my wife doesn't like paying for my Mistress.

Since it happened in your driveway, you should be fine. Buy your wife something more expensive than the repair she will be happy.

I tried the high pressure spring at first and my pressure was @ 60-70 psi at cruise with + 90psi at wot. I thought it was a bit much seeing that kind of pressure so I reinstalled the spring it came with because I was afraid that something was going to explode. lol

I had the Melling 10355HV installed at GPI (2010 L99 w/ SS3 Cam, etc). The pressures I'm seeing on the stock gauge are about like this: 70+ psi at cold start idle, around 40 psi warm idle (I never see it below this), 60-70 psi when cruising. I haven't checked it at WOT yet. I mentioned these numbers to GPI and they were not concerned. I get the P0521 code every few days "Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Range/ Performance," which I clear out. Thoughts?

Not sure on your pump,70 is high from what I understand, but I'm no fluid engineer.
