Glad to hear no spacers were required. I was thinking more along the lines of tubbing. LOL!

I took your advice on the E85 conversion and had GPI drop kick the meth setup. I'm hoping she pushes well into the 700s with 13 psi. At this point, I believe the D1 is going to be completely maxed out...and no, not looking to go FX...well, not this week anyway...it's been an expensive first 6 months.

You wont regret the E-85 conversion.

What pumps/injectors you going with for the conversion?

I posted this question in the transmission/driveline area but there seems to be a lot of folks watching this thread so I would like to hear from anyone . .

Anyone have experience with a transmission rebuild by RPM Transmissions?

Better be dang good cause it is expensive, but sometimes you get what you pay for!!

Have you thought about running your car at HMP? It's an 1/8 mile and closer than Sealy.

Sweet! Your gonna like that set up. With a Fore Fuel System, if/when you ever need to add a 3rd fuel pump you just send it back to them and they add it at a very reasonable cost so I understand.

No not really. Think I would prefer to compare apples to apples but I will consider it.

Gotcha! Totally agree. Just figured I would put it out there since RPRW is out of commission.

Thanks man . . . Was hoping you would chime in with your thoughts because I respect them!

Don't think I need tranny work right now other than possibly a rear seal replacement, but it is good to know that the transmission is stout, because at that price it better be

Man I wish you would have started up a build thread, post pics of the build, and final dyno's!

Been thinking about your build and I was sitting at 793 HP at 13 psi and E85 and probably the only difference between us was I have after market heads which add ~ 35-40 HP.

I am thinking after this final tweak your gonna be pushing 760-775 HP. Guess we will see. Perma grin will be back again and the guy you took for a ride a while back will leave tread marks on your passenger seat the next time out.

I've put down about 1100hp to the wheel with a stock tr6060, but i never did a dig at that power level. the lvl 6 rpm trans is what I had after and it held all the power i threw at it. Couldn't say the same for the monster clutch i had, i warped the billet flywheel they supplied and it all went down hill from their.
