Car is back running after many trials and tribulations. Transmission line started leaking at the front crimp fitting. Caused the belt to slip off the pulley and break. I spent 4+ hours trying to remove the hose assembly. Wound up cutting it in half with a saw. It is impossible to put new line assembly on with car on jack stands. Had car towed to dealer to have them install it. Took their lead transmission guy 6 hours to install it. He had to remove my right cat delete pipe to get it in. He managed to crimp the pipe at the rear joint. Ordered a new set from Summit. Same pipe as Jegs, but a good bit cheaper. I installed it myself last night.
BTW there is a new, less expensive fuel system in the works. No need for the high $$ return fuel systems. My car is shifting right where it needs to at 7,400rpms. Can't go higher w/o hitting the soft limiter. The '15s and up have a much better computer. The "patch" for the '11 - '14 computers is a hit or miss proposition.

BTW Jokerz Performance does not ship the repaired blower unit with oil. I wondered why mine sounded a little funny when I cranked it. I filled it up with 10W-30 Mobile One.
