Video of the best run is the 13th post in this thread. Yes, only my car has run so far with the trans we will be offering in it.

I have an appointment with the CNC shop Thursday morning to go over the drawings, changes and upgrades we've made. From there if all goes well they will start cutting the part!

Meeting has been moved to Monday morning.

R/T, Rota's that look like CE28N's. Good fitment, have held up really well road racing on them (had those on the Eclipse) and they look good, just heavier than the real thing. 17x9".

Yes, that's on the M&H slick that run, it was also a 1.42 sixty foot on the 9.31 run I think. It ran a best ever 60' on the 9.55 pass with a 1.39.

Update, the CNC process has started. I went in for a meeting to approve the initial upgrades/changes and drawings and everything looked good. They are starting the machining this week!

Oh yeah I always stay focused while I'm out there.

On another note I am really considering this EVO change, but I am curious to what I will need in the conversion? I only ask so I can figure what parts I can sell. I understand the transmission is changed, but is the transfer case changed also? I figure if I can sell my built 5 speed and my stage 3 quaiffe transfer case that should pay for a good portion towards this conversion.

Also are you having them do any heat treating or cryo treating of the parts? Both of these processes have been very well documented to provide some strength enhancements.

Hey again thanks and next time your at my RV I'll have some cold beer for ya!!!

If you can answer this dave... does the stock T/C bolt up to your transmission?

Any plans on doing a CNC'd T/C? I suspect if you did the ACD fan boi's wouldn't get any love.

I believe he said it requires the stock t case to be modified.

CNC'd T/C isn't needed. There will be little to no drivetrain shock which would make the stock parts last a lot longer.

you're correct

Yeah Terrible... for the people who choose to put an Auto in their cars. My idea was hey... if you're making beefcake housings for T/C's that would be available to MTx cars too.

The kit comes complete when we ship them out. I need to have your t-case shipped here for machining to make it work with the new trans. The cost of that machining is included in the kit. You would be able to sell your trans, flywheel/clutch, slave cylinder, clutch assembly/shifter etc. There is no cryo work being done and we've had very limited success with cryo on the 5 speeds, there are better processes out there.

We aren't making housings for the T-case, I don't think it's needed at all. The tcases hold up great in the 5 speeds already, it's only going to hold up even better with the auto.
