    How long do you idle for?

    as long as oil pressure is up (takes a couple seconds), you're good to go... I don't boost until it's somewhat warm though (at least up until I can feel heat out of the vents now). Long periods of idling can cause lots of wear (cop cars usually had heavily worn cams from this), and I only...

    cam trouble

    yep ^^ almost sounds like one of those shops that thinks that there are bearings that go in the journals... it's completely normal to have it on there, and is easily removed...but is pointless as more will be deposited and it will loosen the clearances...

    How to spot an LSD?

    easiest way to tell a open diff vs LSD is jack up one rear tire (chock the fronts!!), release tha e-brake and put it in neutral. Try and turn the wheel, it will rotate the driveshaft if it's open (or really REALLY worn LSD) dunno about the torsen diffs though...

    water pump installation questions??

    follow the TSRM... the bolts and studs have different torque settings, overtorque and you break bolts, undertorque and it leaks... make sure you clean the gasket surface well, and I flushed a ton of crap out of my block while I was there...

    Is it possible?

    yes, lapping to get it down to the right RA is done all the time... doing it with the engine assembled is a bit of a bitch though, as any of the diamond paste in the oil would ruin your day... you'll need a lapping plate, paste, ect... there is a thread somewhere on it...

    yeah, not a fan of the front end either... but it's to compete with the big trucks, and is even built here in Texas to compete... I'm waiting for TRD to come out with a supercharger for it and I'll wait a few years and find a wrecked one, throw the supercharger on it...and drop it into a...
