ZO6 transimission in there c5 and if so did it make a difference in acceleration? I would assume it would bolt up with little or no problems??

It bolts in perfectly and would make a noticeable difference in acceleration. You might also consider 3.73, 3.90 or 4.10 gears as an option.

Yep, a few have done this. I opted for the 4.10 gears instead for a couple of reasons. The MN12 puts you at about the equivalent of an MN6 with 3.90's. Also, the stock MN6 is stronger than the MN12 (I've heard this from multiple sources). You could get a rebuilt and strengthened MN12 from one of our members who does this but it'll cost you ~$2500.
