Hello All

Came over from LS1TECH, always loved the C5s and plan to get one in the future (black, M6). Heard about RPM transmissions and am planning on it for my next big mod.

Thanks,Matt

Welcome to the forum. I've heard nothing but good things about RPM. When my tranny dies, they will be the first call I make!

Thanks,Matt

Sorry bout that, I forgot to check this forum.

When I ran the 12.2 @ 111.70 it was at Atco raceway in New Jersey in 38 degree weather.

Mods were lid, loudmouth, Yank's SS3800 and Nitto drag radials. I launched the car at 3500rpms and got a 1.75 60' Managed to do it at Raceway park as well but with a 1.71 60' and a 109 trap speed.

Just went to Atco this past Sunday and with only 1 run got a 12.51 @ 111.70 in 82 degree weather and a 1.94 60' (no burnout) As you can see, alot is left in this new combo (QTP longtubes, Borlamouth and TTP's V3 Cam).

No problem, how long have you guys been around? There are alot of fly-by trans shops going around on LS1Tech right now and well as you know, I keep my eyes open sorta speak.
