Right now I'm running an m6. At some point I'm going to try a standard M12 trans because I feel with my particular combo the car will go faster.
It will definitely 60' better. It wouldn't last as long but I only need a few passes before I mellow out the car.

I'm fixed! Drove it the last couple days. Runs like a champ! Haven't tried a high RPM shift but since everything with the clutch/hydraulics is new I can't imagine having the same problems as last year.
