Well, upon further examination, the decel whine is very similar on the engine whether the clutch is in or out, accel whine is much louder clutch engaged. I think it's that fat old fly-wheel just loading the engine more. Found a YouTube of a 370Z TO bearing sound and mine is identical. No worries, and I doubt I did anything more than slip the clutch a bit. Not even enough to smell it. One pass down the drag strip would probably "hurt" the car far worse. If that minor mishap kills something, it had a problem to begin with.
In case you were wondering...I have not slept much today. I need to not post things right now :P
Forget...move on...have fun
