Default STOCK LS7 with 15+ lbs of boost..... NASTY

Here's what a proper tune and the right combination with a stock untouched LS7 is capible of. None of the last three years of racing pass after pass could of ever happened if it wasn't for "Roadrebel". He is the mastermind behind the keyboard (and tech support at all hours) that took baby steps to get it to this point with ZERO failures of any sort. This pass was made at Indy at the LSX shoot-out in full street trim (like I ever drive it on the street ),we did NOT do any weight reduction at all. I hope to get it back to the track soon in good weather to knock the time down as this was not its best 60ft or MPH....

You and that car are something else Rodney. You've got a big round of applause from all of us here at HOB. Keep at it!

Almost makes me want an auto. But then I remember that I like shifting gears.

Does every auto conversion end up requiring a standalone controller, or is it possible to integrate the TCM into the system so HP Tuners can read it out and edit it? I wouldn't hold my breath for that, but it'd be cool. Awesome job either way.

All the RPM cars performed fantastic over the weekend, on top of that they were helping others with trans problems get back on track.

A real class act group of guys.

That's crazy! Congrats! It's like every time out, it gets faster and faster. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a thread with you running 8.9x in this car . Dr.Phil is the man!

Great Job Rodney and Crew!!

Why anyone would buy their transmissions from any other trans shop is beyond my understanding..

Thanks for the Props Rodney!
But, truth be told I am only 1 cog in a machine that accomplished the goals we had this year. So congrats and props back to all the members of the RPM driveline Team.

That's moving out guys . Once again thanks for trying to find the parts for my trans, sometimes it just not in the cards.
