sorry. meant quad. i think mantic triple is rated by ECS to hold 1500lb tq. RPS clutches seem to have fairly finicky engagement from what I've seen although I've never driven the quad. that rps is one Seksy piece of awesome though!

If by finicky you mean on/off switches then yeah, that's what I've seen too. It does look super nice though

I've got the RPS Triple, and yes, it takes some getting used to. On/Off switch is not far off, but it is manageable when you get used to it. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I now have the RPM Level 6 tranny and Level 3 Diff out of Eric's car before he upgraded. They are now in a 2004 Z16. dealing with over 700 hp.

Since this build changed direction so much, I had to change the fuel system to accommodate it. I had originally done a custom triple Walbro 450 pump setup. My calculations detemined that on E85 we're going to need even more. I removed the tank again and commenced to adding a 4th 450 to his factory tank. It took all day to get them in there to where I was happy, but it's done. We now have 4-450 pumps in the driver tank with 4-10ga wires, using a special plug that I came up with. Over the years I've learned that you can't put just any wire into the tanks. I'm using a Teflon injected plug designed specifically for penetrating fuel tanks, with Teflon jacketed silver wire, tested to 80psi. I'll bring the pumps on in stages, so this will be a 4-stage fuel system, controlled by the Haltech ECU. A first for me.

Sorry, no pics. It's something that I custom designed and perform with the tank on the bench.
