Relocated the oil pressure sensor from the back of the engine to the side of the oil pan where the oil filter is. That way I don't have to remove the intake manifold if I have to change the sensor again. The 2 foot harness extension makes it a simple plug in deal

You don’t need to remove the intake manifold to replace the sensor. Just reach up on top and do it by feel. I’ve done it, it’s not that hard. That’s a nice little adapter though. ICT Billet makes quality stuff.

So the dyno day didn't go as planned. Driveshaft blew up on the dyno at about 5400 rpm and 96mph . It was quite the bang when it let go. It also took out the tail shaft housing. Now I'm going with a 2 piece shaft. My dyno guy told me he had never had one blow apart on the dyno, he said they usually come apart on the road at about 142+mph. The 2 piece shaft will cure this problem

Unfortunately I didn't record a video of that. He was slowly making his way up the revs, each run a bit more, then looking at the data on the laptop. This happened at 5400rpm , later on the full run will be to the redline at 7000rpm

Here is a video of the damage underneath (no audio)

Damage could've been so much worse.

Man I wish I could do this kind of build on my Tahoe. Such a thing of beauty. Strong work, brother.
