Well fellas, I'll keep this one short and sweet. Like the title says, Milan won. I lost my exedy twin plate a couple weeks back, and tonight my DTE stg III w/brace went boom after a burnout followed by a nice launch, perfect 1-2 shift then nothing when I hit 3rd. I pulled over and when I looked under the car I saw the DIFF oozing. Just my luck. DA was around 2000 when I got there, maybe less, but the last runs of the night were all -1000 or better. Going to have to punch some numbers to verify that but I think its accurate.

Rest assured I'll be back. Nothing left to break now LOL. I hope not anyways. Looking into the RPM line of built diffs. Ron @ Vengeance suggested them and is going to work something out for me. Thanks in Advance for all the help over the last few months Ron. Not to mention all the hospitality too. Thanks for everything brother. Too bad I am running out of money.

Just for reference, my exedy and dte were installed Mar/Apr 06, and both died within 2 weeks of each other. **** happens I guess.

One last comment, the RPS street twin Lite worked great ! Very easy to launch, a HUGE improvement over the Exedy twin.

Dont forget the Ram Twin Disk Clutch. VERY good pedal feel and held all my ponies.

Thanks bro, but I popped the diff. Clutch was already replaced with a beatiful driving RPS street twin lite. Need a diff, not a clutch.

The good news is you're making enough power to break stuff. The bad news is you're making enough power to break stuff.

Keeps me doing my back roads in the mountains at speed thing.

Sorry to hear you broke ! Sounds like the car has plenty of power,perhaps you should look inta a C6Z conversion for the rear diff.

I agree Kevin !!
One more try though, I gotta know. Maybe I'll just come out soft and go for a MPH.

Not enough money to do that for a long time !!!!

WOW, sounds like you had a lot of fun though !!


Might be doing the gears bro, will definately make 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th a lot more fun without adding more power.

I was told by the guy that I ran that I cut my best ever 60 , 1.71 !!!
I wasn't thinking about my slip after I broke. Too busy getting the car off the track

Kurto : 24 psi, and it was my second pass. I did an easy first pass to see how the track was, and get a feel for the new clutch. 2nd pass, I launched at around 3500 rpms slipped the clutch and felt great. First pass was around 3000 and she bogged.

Always something EH? Welcome to my fucked up world.

I'd go with C6 parts if I were you. Not a cheap investment but, atleast you wouldn' have to deal with this ZR1 setup is the ****....


The only thing I don't like about changing the gear ratio is if you actually do add MORE power down the road. Traction is a bitch with a steep gear and alot of power.

3.42 is stock rear gear ratio with all 6 speed Vettes
