RENNtech C55

hey everyone
I'm back. Benn out of town for almost 7 weeks.
Hope everyone is doing well. I need to catch up on my reading...

My car is done!
Added the RENNtech headers, did the RENNtech sub-frame mod, took out the NOS tank from the rear, added a new nos system (hidden), did work on the transmission, new RENNtech programing and added the a pillar with the boost and nos gagues.

I can't give any testimonials yet, cause I have only driven the car about 30 miles - work and back. But it is faster :v

Like Josh, I have some traction issues as well. I need to get new tires (SO2) but Since my tires are brand new (AVS) I will wait a couple of months...

Traction sucks even with the LSD... can't even imagine it without it. Your backend must be all over the place... LOL

Not at all! I did have RENNtech rear-sub frame mod. I have no problem launching the car. It's when I have to upshift that I have issues...
And I haven't tested the new NOS system yet :v
