When and if the 6 speed happens Im sure it will get a RPS clutch. I havent decided thats the route Im going as I like the auto, and lets face it it is faster than a stick for most of what the car is used for. I have some ambitions for running the mile and I know a 6 speed is the only chance I have at making it happen. The big turbo kit is a go and hopefully they get them ordered this week along with the other parts for the water to air intercooler.
Now I need to find a buyer for my current twin setup.

You will soon see a LSX powered car go 260+ at the mile. I will give a hint. When we were just there we saw 6800and change rpm with a .74 fifth gear, 3.0 rear gear and a 28" tall tire. If your good with numbers you can figure out the mph. When I am done with RC's new setup EVERYONE is in trouble on the highway.
Thats great to know.
I'm not good with numbers but I got 255mph in 5th gear at 6800rpm
Is this the 408ci twin 67s Blakc SS?
Good luck.

Not quite that much mph. I came up with mid to high 240's. Yes it was the black camaro, but we had just upgraded the engine to a rhs block 427. Unfortunately the alternator failed and the fuel pump lost voltage. So the motor let go just past the 3/4 mile marker. For the next mile it will have twin gt42-82mm turbos with billet compressor wheels and possibly a tall deck 461 cid lsx. So with that car and RC's new setup it is a possibility that you will see GM on top and all the other guys saying WTF just happened.

Been thinking about doing heads on my camaro, but dont know if I should. My plans is to do a LS3 based big cube motor sometime next year, so I dont think I should waste the money on stuff now that will just get ditched. I did find a really good deal on some 5.3 stage 2.5 heads, which would compliment my little 228R nicely.
