I was able to bend the side of the tunnel enough to get enough clearance for the rods to clear without having to cut anymore out of it. The next one shows the difference between the M23 with the Ram Rod and the G101A with the Long shifter. Notice the vent on top of the M23. If you don't want oil on your transmission when drag racing you need to fix your vent like this. The last one is my car with the M23 on a high 10 second run. I picked up .200 when I put the G101A in it with no other modifications. I know this is a lot to add to the original post, so have it deleted after you look at it if you want. I don't know how close the Camaro and Nova tunnels are in size and location, but hopefully this will help.

Thanks Freddie for the pics and the insight, as well as the rest of you that took the time to toss in some thoughts / experience. I've got some information to digest now. A call to American Powertrain may be in order. I'm a little skeptical that they can raise the torque rating 50% with what looks to be the same case. I'll follow up!
