Are you talking about a leak where the housings meet?

Is it normal for these cars (G37xs Sedan)to wander at high speeds? My older Audis don't.

To summarize would be 713whp/680wtq. Check my build thread in my signature if you ever have time.

I would bet the "wandering" you are referring to is the terrible sway bars. Get them upgraded asap. Huge upgrade in handling. When I bought my journey I was afraid to hit triple digit speeds, after sways I hit 145 comfortably

Hey that's what I thought too but I put the sport sway bar on the back with urethane bushings and put urethane bushings on the front so I don't think that's the case I put on a new end links. I'm wondering if it's not the tires I have the Sumitomo tires on there that came on the car they're pretty Nu almost brand new

Went 13.66 @ 101 today. Was hoping for a better trap, but I'm ok with it.

On two of my passes my car would not shift from 2nd to 3rd and the traction light came on. There's zero chance this car at this power level was losing traction at the 1/8th mile. On these two particular runs I did somewhat of a harder / longer powerbrake while launching. I know I had briefly seen where the car may go into a limp mode while powerbraking, but I would have thought the car would have went into limp mode immediately versus waiting until that long into the pass. This happened twice to me. The last run I made I launched from basically idle and went 13.71 @ 101.

Nice looking ride but I think your wheels will slow you down a bit. They look heavy...
It will be interesting.
