So, it looks like a bearing problem after all. Eric at PE, had me pull the
oil filter and what we discovered inside points to the bearings.
I have to say, that Eric has been phenominal in working with me on this issue. Without heistation he offered to fix everything for me at no cost. I will be making the trip out to Ohio from NY in the next week or so. I am looking forward to seeing the shop and meeting him in person.
For anyone looking for a place to purchase a Superformance and wants someone who will stand by their product.... Look no further. Perfrmance Engineering in Ross Ohio is top notch.
