Yeah, they will take care of you. I know that a couple of their guys had food poisoning last week and that coupled with the holiday kinda put Geoff behind...

Heads are one of those things you dont want assembled in a rush. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I waited 10 weeks for my MTI stage IIs. But, they told me it would be that long!

It depends on what heads your getting from them, GTP etc. There is a waiting period for most of all the heads that are ordered now. I just got mine and waited nearly 3 mths.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

When your waiting for the heads, do they wait to charge your credit card until the parts are sent?

Typically credit cards are not charged until Thunder has the heads in stock to be assembled.

Hang in there with Thunder Racing, they have always been good to me. Sometimes, things don't get out on time, but that is almost always the case when you order a "needs assembly" part in the middle of the hotrod season.

I order EVERTHING from TR, and have never had any problems. Their logistics are the best that I have found.
