Yep, Ported the oil pump myself and added the shim..
Drivetrain mods? Just the DTE brace and hardened left output shaft...
Are you gonna break it in easy, Yes, 500 easy miles first...

I’m not an expert by far, but when I put on the DTE brace and the hardened drivers side output shaft, I then went to the track and broke the passenger side output shaft. After looking at it, I don’t think it is much stronger then the driver’s side. So while you’re at it, put in the passenger side hardened output shaft.
