Maybe the bankrupt status has something to do with it?

Thumbs up

Then again... I wouldn't wait until the last minute to get an intercooler and expect to get it in a timely matter.

A friend of mine ordered a custom air to water intercooler for a Pro 5.0 Mustang and it took 3 months to get from the time the order was placed from Precision Turbo. He also ordered a crankshaft and it took over 26 weeks to arrive. Waiting is sometimes a part of racing.

"I'm a patient man, Focker. That's what 18 months in a Vietnamese prison camp will do to ya. "

Griffin has emerged from bankruptcy, but the delays on various folks intercoolers was impacted by it. Griffin is like three months behind on like 3-4 intercoolers that I know of. They have until Friday to get me a tracking number, because after that, I won't put it on my car.
