I have a C5 Z06 with a RPM VI 4L65 swap and RPM C6Z diff... I am running a Precision Industries 3200 Stall with a Trans brake... I pull 1.42 60' times with this setup... But I also make 600whp with a forged LS7... I wouldn't go to crazy with the stall id you want good drivability... My 3200 drives great on the street but you know its there...

I dont mind telling ya I paid 650 for everything to swap it and got a spare differential. I'm still wanting decent drivability because I do like to cruise around on nice sunny days it's not a dd but I'm wanting to take it to track more so I want wont go radical stay under 4000.

It all came off a 99 corvette the guy had done a manual swap to his and its 4l60e everything in great condition he was just tired of it setting in his garage and I just happen to get lucky and got it.

I've seen the shops that will sell you a complete kit with the TR6060 but it's so expensive. I'd be happy to be around 3k for the complete swap with a tranny that can handle my power, 624rwhp with me doing all the work myself except beefing up the transmission and rearend.

Daniel, look for someone with and auto wanting to switch to M6, then trade them out, buy a good converter and transcooler. Don't expect a stock tranny to last tho with 600hp.. That's when the **** gets real.
I have about $10k in my swap... Maybe a little more..but I put all good stuff in it and even built a new diff. That's using a stand alone controller.
I love the auto... Converters tho, are a pain in the *** to get right. Lean towards the small/tight side. With FI, the converters always end up looser then you think. I've had a custom Coan, a custom FTI and it's still not right. Gonna have FTI restall it again. 3 times I've had to pull the drivetrain...

My current M12 grinds in first and I believe the TT needs repaired as that's why I pulled it thinking it's the problem now. I'd probably have to give them away. Looking to pick up all the parts slowly. Will do most of my shopping at RPM though.
