Well got off the phone with T.J. with Rpm. Going ahead and biting the bullet and getting her converted. I am stoked. They are even working with me on getting her picked up these guys are awesome 
I will miss my m12 but not the slipping clutch
Any recommendations on rearend gears. I have 3.73's now making 850-890rwhp. Thinking about going back to 3.42 plan on dragging it regularly. Thanks

Hey yes that was my car, that was when i had a d1 with 650rwhp. Now i have an f1r 14-15lbs boost it made 890rwhp 816 rwtq, with 93 octane, torco and methanol through high flow cats. I havent made a clean pass with this setup. I have had alot of belt issues (my install) then clutch slipping. I mainly only go on corvette events at Bowling Green. It trapped mid 130's with 650 rwhp should be in the 140's somewhere now

I see people like you, stealth, Mark, the other Nick, Robbie and others that race there cars and there trannies hold. I know its a big difference from beating on it on the street with street tires, and taking it to the track with slicks. RPM's are track proven so that's good for me
