Default Got a new TOY today, pics inside!

I love it when the big Brown Truck pulls up!

I'm in the middle of a M6 to TH400 swap. JL-WS6 and Greg from FTI have been helping with the swap and both are outstanding members that are always willing to help!

My take on FTI, I started talking to Greg about a month ago concerning my swap and building me a converter. Well this past Monday I called him to make the order and he said he would get on it as soon as possible and maybe ship it out on Wednesday (meaning today Wed). Well I didn't have all my ducks in a row so I had to call him back Tuesday morning to finish payment. When Greg picked up the phone he said," Yeah, I'm welding up your converter right now and it will ship today". So after I picked up my jaw off the ground I was like WOW, what excellent customer service! I orginally thought it "might" ship on Wed but it "Arrived" on Wed, keep up the Customer Service!!

Now I just can't wait to get the TH400 installed and see what the new combo will do!

Nice man. I have that same shirt! My FTI converter has been good to me. No problems at all with mine.

Thanks for the replies! I am too excited about making the switch, I can't wait until next week when we get everything installed and get it retuned. I will probably go ahead and spin it a few times since the shop has a dyno just to see where I'm at now. I know the numbers don't mean much when you do the swap but I at least would like to know where i sit now vs. running the 6sp for several years.
