It's a hard price to beat! :)
Jay said he was confident that the standard duty would hold up to my H/C/Nitrous 6 speed convertible (heavy, with lots of DS stress) at the track without a problem.
I know some people need driveshafts, and I haven't seen more than one heavy duty piece for sale on any of the boards for the last month. Surely there's some demand here. :)

You going to a 6 speed buddy?
Oh Snap this is real tempting but I'm gonna have to figure out the length for mine with a TH350 first :(

Already done. :D
Got a few minor details to work out now, but it's just a matter of getting the time to do it. Gotta reflash my PCM with an M6 .bin and tidy up a little wiring and it'll be good to go. Time is my problem though, working 60 hours a week with finals coming up leaves me a little cramped. ;) Sounds like you've been getting a little more crazy with your changes than I have though, TH350?
I'd personally like to see these shipped within a week or two if we get enough people, it'd be nice to have it here by the time I get the clutch broken in.

TTT for ya guys.

wrencher, if you still haven't gotten a response, post your question here. Things are very busy at their shop, so they probably respond to e-mails in batches. If you post here, I can try to answer it, or if I don't know the answer I can get it for you without much trouble.
Floyd, I saw your car over there last time I stopped in. Very nice. :D

Wrencher, my best guess is that these will ship once we get 5 orders. I'm pretty anxious myself, but I can't just make people jump in on this. :(

How do you get a hold of someone at Billingsley???
I've tried calling several times the past few days with no answer. I didn't bother to leave a message though (last time I did it took them over 3 weeks to return my call about a 12 bolt and ended up goign with tbyrne). I refused to order through there site which is not secure.

I'm sorry you are having problems. If you would leave a message your call will be returned. I'm not sure what happened with your 12 bolt call you are referring to. We aren't a large company, so it is sometimes difficult to answer the phone when you call in since we are busy shipping, in the shop, on the line, etc. If you simply leave a message, or email us to contact you, we are more than happy to do so.

FYI-Our website is currently being re-designed and will have a secure shopping cart soon. Also, if you called over the last few days, we aren't open on the weekends.
Thanks
