please give tracking numbers and email them to us.

Honestly Brian as a seller you should send these out to ensure they are packed right and definitely go out. You run the risk of problems by having someone else ship this for you.

i talk from experience when i bought something from another seller from this board and he in turn let someone else ship it out. Stuffed was badly damaged from improper packing and guess what,parts were missing....

Trust me it will be fine.

a. he owns my race car, so it's just as good as me personally taking care of it..plus since I didn't make a dime on the lids, I'm trying to save a little on shipping
b. there is only one item in the box( the lid)
c. after fedex gets it, anything that happens to it is out of my control, should be ok unless some fedex employee decides to stack a crate motor on top of it!..lol
as soon as I get the info I'll e-mail it out..I'm still waiting on two more phone numbers before I can send the last two lids out

I recieved mine looks fine a few things I would have liked to see different but it is still a nice lid. I am going to go to the dyno with mine and see how much it helps I talked with Jason at MTI and he also was interested to see so we are going to do a before and after comparison I will post up my results for you guys to see.

I took the plunge and slammed my hood and it shuts. After opening and shutting very hard a few times, I couldnt find any scuffs on the lid. I too can tell a difference in the car..very little bit helps. When I re-dyno next month Ill post the difference.

That is good to hear that you could tell. I want to do it on the same day so that I have the same conditions and also let the car cool down between pulls ETC... for a very accurate account of the increases.

you need to do the pulla a wekk apart from eachother..the car needs time to relearn the new airflows..we did the back to back testing first and not much changed. When we gave it more time to relearn..thats when it made a huge difference..hope you guys enjoy
