Mainly, I just am hyper-sensetive to that T/O bearing whine now, lol. It really is super noticeable, but I think I do remember thinking "Is that my Z1 intake tube and drop-in doing that?" when I revved my car a bit after installing them, so likely I am just hyper-sensetive to it for a bit. Anyway, you say prominent (if you listen for it) whine on low-speed accel/decel and when revved in gear with the clutch engauged is normal? It reminds me of some GM alternators or a VERY VERY quiet SC.

Either way, going to all Red Line fluids Thursday morning.
ah yes, all that extra energy must have disappeared into a magical hole in the space time continuum where bad energy goes, rather than absorbed in the clutch or synchros like it would in a normal vehicle.

The TOB noise is normal. I've been in 20+ Z's and every single one did it.
