Thanks.. I know my cage "should" arrive in 2 - 3 weeks and all the N20 wiring "should" be done by then, if I can stay sober enough in the garage and not screw up the wiring. After that its time for the rear... :-)

so far i love mine.... done some track testing playing with the t/a and it makes a WORLD of difference. its amazing how much 1" of positioning the front of it will/can make in my car. so far its went the fastest in the very bottom hole 1.49 60' spinnin about 6-7' out (heavy 6 speed n/a car). i got my trans mount ground down (just the metal ear thats a little wide) and in the next hole up & it launches perfect, dead hooks, lifts the fronts up about 2-3" for a split second and sling shots down track

He hasn't called about my backing plates yet and I ordered mine in early feburary (may have been late Jan) so I think he is probably a little further behind then a week off, unless he just doesn't like me

I think at this point this is one of those deals where your going to get a great product but have to wait quite a while for it until Eric gets caught up.

yes... the first of the year was tough to get things out as planned, especially with the holdup on production of the new design housing components, and my shop being severly under manpowered. new qualified help has arrived and we will be filling orders much quicker now...
to those who have been waiting, we much appreciate your patience. the quality and value of these rearends is well worth the wait according to the customers that have them already. the product has sold much more than i expected in the beginning, and along with the complete cars that normally get built through this shop it has been overwhelming to say the least. orders are being filled as they came in, one rearend, one customer at a time.
with the hired new help and the revised component designs, the process will move along much quicker. thank you again to those who have received your parts and to those who currently have orders placed.
Eric

Yeah I dont mind. You cant beat his prices and Erics support is there. Not to mention he sets up the gears in house instead of just having it direct shipped from the manufacturer. I know I got in just as he started getting a good bit of orders. Im sure he wasnt expecting this.

I'm one of the cars that went thru the shop. Had a 8 point chromoly cage put in and a manual rack it was worth the wait. Or is it a 10 point do you count the two going to the tunnel? Anyways The cage was fitted tight against the sides of the car and I finally got the interior back in today. Cant wait to pick up the rearend. Hopefully next weekend.

And so was one...sorry LS1 guys!
Eric did a full 25.5 Update on the drag radial car and It did take up a lot of shop time. I know he has been working feverishly taking care of everyones orders. These are all handmade to each order....and his craftsman ship and integrity are the best in the business.

Cool, so what is the actual out the door time, if a new rear was ordered today for example.
