So after taking multiple showers in ATF. Refilled the transmission and did a fill procedure. Everything is looking good now. This was me just rowing gears stationary in the garage. I will get it on my dyno next week and give it a shot. 2-1 didn't drop line pressure so I am worried that indeed there's something funky. Who knows? The dyno will let me know.

I was gonna do the Montana llc deal on the 170 but learned you have 60 days or something to get local plates. Can't drive on another state if your license is TN.

If you have residency in TN, own property in MN and decide to register a vehicle in MN as a sole individual then yes the state of TN can come after you. The Montana LLC is an asset holding corporation. https://www.virtuslaw.com/2017/08/21/setting-asset-holding-company/ the assets are owned by the llc and not a person therefore only subject to the laws of the state of registration. TN cannot go after a LLC for assets that are used in another state, all hell would break loose. For example big service companies plumbers and electricians that operate in one state have their assets registered in another state for tax liability.

For insurance purposes you will just have to add an “interested party” to the insurance and that will be the LLC. This is legal case law in all 50 states and in the interstate commerce clause.

I looked into it pretty deeply and there were a bunch of issues from license plate in TN to insurance to selling the vehicle down the road. Woulda saved me $11k in sales taxes so trust me I tried lol.

Filmed like a potato on this one. Good news 848hp/752tq.

Bad news, possible boost leak. But hey that's part and parcel for building a race car.

Many factors such as worn rings or potentially too long of a line for the can

Isn't the motor new or am I lost in the thread somehow? I'd suspect too much injector or something.
