Isn't that normal for the first oil change?

It is, but IMO, it was excessive for ~60 miles. We're going to do frequent oil changes for a while.

He passed his driver's test. We're still not done, but it's done enough to get to school and back. It's just the little crap that takes forever to really get done. Like interior stuff.

I am going to look for an autocross group that's not too far away. To me autocross always felt like sex with your clothes on ... it's just not quite the real thing, but it will be good for a new driver to learn from.

I'm also itching to see what it does in the 1/4. It feels low 14's to me. It also kinda feels like dead transmissions will follow. LOL. This is hardest shifting 4L60E I've ever had. It's always chirping 1-2 even if you are not driving hard. You have to consciously back off the throttle to make it not happen.

Is the MAF hooked up and working? I know unplugging the MAF will force high/full line pressure.

Yes, it is. I have seen it in the HP tuners scanner.

It does have a shift kit installed and some other performance parts.

I read here that the shift kits (Transgo maybe?) make them shift really aggressively.

I remember there was a thread of a member complaining that everytime his transmission shifted his glove box popped open! He was looking for advice on how to remove his shift kit IIRC...

I don't remember all the stuff that was done to it. I know it has Corvette servo, thicker sun shell, extra clutch discs, and some kind of "mild" shift kit. If it lasts, it's a fun upgrade. I feel like we'll be searching for a 2WD 4L80E eventually.

4L60 or 65? IIRC the 65 is Corvette spec with beefier bits internally. That's what the '06 has behind the 6.0 according to the VIN feedback.

Unknown. It was assembled from a pile of parts. The case was from an 03 Hummer H3, IIRC, but it was totally empty.

The Esky and Denali got the 65 behind the 6.0, better, but still a weaker trans than the 80 though.
