Hmmm, My point is that in an OEM and many racing applications a bushing in the tail housing at the slip yoke is been the norm for long before you and I were born. The Camaro transmision would never ever get the Corvette transmission. That is because the transmisson in the Corvette is in the rear attached to the trans axle. THey share a design and are based off the same series. Just like the Tremec 6060 in the GT500 and the Challanger. It won't bolt up, it's a different configuration. Sorry I will defend anyone that I choose. It's a free country. I do not work FOR GM or Chevrolet. I do work WITH them I have worked WITH the guys at Tremec for a number of years. Lets not throw away the baby with the bathwater, we have a great car here and I am very happy that GM and Chevrolet were able to get it out. Oh, BTW, the transmission in the Camaro is close to 170 pounds. The gears and shafts are heavier and stronger than any previous 6 speed offered in a Camaro. It's a very stout trans. My 2010 Camaro has 2016 miles on the clock. Most are at the track and beating it up on the back roads. It gets driven hard. I enjoy my Camaro 100% of the time! Robin

Nice, thanks for the results. So you picked up about 70 fwhp with the "test pipes"-whatever that means- and the ported heads? It is a little confusing with the nitrous used, but the times are almost identical. Either way, it sounds good. Looking forward to the article.

I backed the Nitrous tune down to achieve the same MPH at the track so not to run over the limit of the pump. Lingenfelter is looking at ways to install a controller that can drive a larger pump. I could certainly turn up the tune to get the numbers but we have to go rounds with this. It can't be a dyno queen or one hit wonder. We have plenty more in store. Next will be a Vortech Supercharger then installation of an LSA. We will upgrade the clutch at the same time as the Vortech. The lack of a gear is going to be our biggest hurdle. Still it's a lot of fun. Everything we are doing is geared to the average person wanting to do bolt on performance enhancements. No trick stuff here. Robin

No problem, I know you were just posting a quick summary, I was just a bit confused. Thanks for clarifying. Looking forward to the rest of your results.
