Default Ultimate quick shifting package from RPM Transmissions

Ive been testing the DSS Carbon propshaft in my personal 08 C6Z06 for the better part of last year. The propshaft is very light (5.4 lbs) and uses no "guibos" or "couplers" to further reduce weight.

In a manual transmission Corvette, the propshaft weight and frictional drag directly affect shifting time. This propshaft will allow your Corvette to shift as quickly and smoothly as possible.

I have been more than pleased with the amount of abuse that I have put on this propshaft. Multiple 5500 rpm launches at the dragstrip with very large drag radials, and a couple of long road trips (1200 miles each). This thing works fantastic!

We also have another part that we have been testing and had great success with is our ceramic torque tube bearings. These also have been tested in my car with great results. They are far less friction than the standard roller bearing and allow the propshaft to change speeds on shifts much faster than it could otherwise.

This is package with a carbon disk clutch and a level 5 or 6 transmission is the ultimate quick shifting package for your Corvette!

Give us a call or e-mail for more information regarding your specific application.

What's the weight difference between yours and an 09Z?
How much are they going for?

Ran 10.40's all day Friday, got in it at 5pm with my buddy and drove to New Jersey... cruised the beach all weekend, and drove it back on Monday, 11hrs each way...
