I reffered you to some people that can get it done for ya. Is that help enough? Pat G was gonna run a 224/230 xfi cam on a 113+2 i believe on his turbo project. I think a 226/232 on a 115 would work great with your set-up.

We have used this coater for years and were shocked as well. Is there a ceramic coater near Bradenton/Sarasota that is cheaper? Going to Orlando the fuel or shipping would cost as much as the higher prices this guy charges..(he used to be right in line w/everyone else).

Our only other option is shipping them out.

We are open for any other suggestions as we have stuff coated every month or so so we would be a steady customer.

On the cell call, it dropped off & we tried several times to call back and could not reach you.

after talking to Karen about the pricing and doing some quick number crunching she dropped it down to their cost which was more then i could ask for.. she saw where i was coming from and worked with me to get a lower price.. for someone to call me back after their business hours says alot about their personal dedication to each customer...

since they dont do the coating in house they have to pay a certain cost per item or per foot, and unfortunately things fell into play a little differently this time around.. but like i said they worked with me on the price and it looks like ill be getting them this friday

its a PTK clone kit, so there is very little fabbing that needs to be done.

i helped a friend install twin turbos on his vette, so i learned alot from that, plus i am pretty mechanically inclined so i do most stuff myself. but its not a bad idea to have somebody help you out when your tackling something new.
