RPM Transmissions
I just wanted to take some time to say "thanks" all of our customers. I want to let everyone know if you are in the area our doors are always open. Stop by and we can show you around the shop and what cool new projects we have going on. Everyone knows that our specialty is drivetrain related but we do offer more. While installing a transmission we can upgrade other parts of your Corvette. Some of the more common upgrades we do are headers,radiators,shocks,brakes,etc.... We have even installed a few stroker engine combos and some being FI. The decision to move to the new 6K Sq Ft. facility was to offer more options for our customers. We deal with most vendors and can get you good pricing on most parts. Give us a call and we can try and work up a package for you.

I've completed a series of power train upgrades on my C5 Z, SC 427, next I have a set of suspension oriented work planned (coil overs, sway bars & roll bar). Now I'd like some info on custom 5th and especially 6th gears. I've read somewhere that custom gears are available for the M12. At 7K RPM with the stock 3.42 rear end and standard 0.56 ratio 6th gear, terminal speed at red line is calculated to be ~284 mph (drag limited to much less). A 6th gear of around 0.7 would provide ~25% torque benefit with a gear limited top speed of 227 mph.
What do you have available?
Thanks,
Stan

RODNEY,
Keep up the great work and I am really happy to see how you have grown by leaps and bounds over the last 3 years and you deserve it BRO from your workmanship, hard work and INCREDIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Still have those Z16 rims on my Blown 02 Z06 that you personally delivered to my home 2 winters ago when you where on you way to Detroit!!
Here's to your continued success and just a matter of time I am sure until I will need one of your race prepped M12 trannys!!

Well, I've only been a 'vette owner for a few months, but from Rodney's great reputation on this board I have had a secret wish for my stock A4 to take a dive so I can get one of his. I guess he must be doing something right.

I had rodney machine a diff case for me some years ago. Basically I had a 2 series case w/ a 4.10 in it. The Reluctor wheel was offset some so I had it shipped to him as he said he could help. He took the case to his local machine shop guy who welded in an alum plug and machined out a hole closer to the center of the diff. All the while they had snow etc. He did not ask for any money up front and in fact, he sent me my case back and I HAD TO CALL HIM to pay him! Very good guy to deal with and he went way above and beyond what he had to do for such a minuscule little task that made him little to no money.

Rodney- I might be coming down this Spring for a built MN6, and possibly clutch. The measley 410rwhp that I have, has just about finished off my stock clutch and Tranny, and I have not even made it to the track yet
Congrats on the new shop

Hey Rodney!! You've been my ONLY choice to send mine and my customer's broken tranny's to for years now. Not one tranny failure yet and I have some of my clients beating the hell out of their C5s at the track/strip. My own C5 and Dodge Viper are pushing >800hp on a daily basis, not a gliche from the slushbox!! I look forward to doing business with you in the future, as always!!
Hey, how is your new project coming?!?! Have you talked about it here or on any other forum??
