GM Engineers to my Redline: No it's okay, you don't even need that bolt.
So yesterday I tore the transmission out of my car to put the clutch in today and split the load between two days instead of all at once. I pulled the entire fusebox/frame/pcm out to remove this one bolt (it's about a 15 minute job to get the fusebox out, but still) only to find:
It's not even THERE! Lol. Way to go GM, you never cease to amaze me. In their defense this was one of the first Redline's made in the first month of production in 2003, but still lol. Also, here's a pic of the clutch about to be installed:
Unsprung, undamped, unweighted = all kinds of fun trying to drive on the street haha.
Also, here is my VERY last dyno graph from the car with a blower on. The reading is a little blurry, but it comes in at 335whp @ 6118rpm and torque was 349 ft.lbs. @ 3650rpm. The blower comes off this week to make room for the Borg Warner S285 :-)

Umm...okay lol. I realize 90% of the users on this forum are 16 year old kids and such...but I do this for a living. Stop typing just so you can see yourself post. Also, you forgot to mention not to touch the flywheel surface.
Also reading > you. This Redline was made in the fall of 2003, thus making it an 04 model year (the first year for the redlines). Where did you get 05 from?
