Default Thanks to RPM Transmissions I now have serious traction

I sent my car up to them to have a trans brake installed. Well, it didn't take them long to discover that launching off the trans brake would be impossible with my 18" drag radials so TJ talked me into going with their base C6 rear brake conversion and LG billet spindles so we could fit some 15" rubber under the rear. Of course I opted for a new drag pack also

Thanks so much TJ, Rodney and the rest of the RPM gang. You guys are the best

I can't wait to get the car home and onto the track

WELD just hit the ball out of the park with their new line of wheels...just killer looking on late model cars. Great look and should get some nasty short times!

What size rims and tires on the rear?

Looks great. I wish I could get a 15" on my car.

Jerry your entire conversion, DSS axles and front brake pads happened in front of my eyes. In fact, I gave a hand with mounting your front runners on the Welds

This was the joke of the day. A sticker I discovered on your front wheel



Car indeed looks badass!



Got traction?!?!?

Car looks sweet, and I hope to be doing a similar setup soon.

Rodney and gang will go above and beyond and do whatever it takes to take care of the customers. I am just lucky to have him as one of my closest friends RPM has worked (nothing to do with a Corvette) on my Escalade and tinted ny Mercedes if that tell you guys anything.

Most likely my car will leave the shop with that setup. That's my only chance to smoke you Mark as I lack driver mod like Bill

Ok not really! Haha

How can you lack the driver mod when you have an auto?

While every pass I run now is a 1.46-1.55, that takes work on a stock C6, bro. Chances are, you will be gone with this setup cutting a light while I worry about my stock rear end.

This makes me want to keep my rear base C6 brakes and get some meaty tires! Car looks intimidating with that setup!

I don't think they will fit with just the base c6 rears. You still need a new spindles.
