Anyone think that 40 lbs may be a bit light?

Classic wins the sniper award! Shoots, 40lbs, might be the McMaster clamps and all the add-ons, minus the kit.

This whole situation as a whole is sad, they had several opportunities to make things right, and have continually failed to do so. Their kit was seemingly what we (the LS1 community) had been asking for, a quality kit that was reasonably priced, allowed accessories to be retained, and allowed room for growth (bigger turbo, larger DP, etc).

If they could have produced and lived up to their promises, they could have put a stranglehold on the LS1 turbo market, IMO. Marko had a 1500+ rwhp Supra, who better to market a turbo kit, its not like he was some jamoch with no experience.

They have shot themselves in the foot IMO and killed any chance for a new start. Had they been forthcoming and kept everyone up to date with (realistic) delivery dates that acually happened, everyone would have understood. But their constant lies and lack of ability to stick to their word has done them in IMO. I hope everyone gets their kit or $$$ back, its a shame everytime someone loses that kinda money, I can't imagine the anger/frustration/helplessness of it all. I got ripped off for ~$100 on Ebay about a year ago, and I'm still fuming mad, ready to freaking kill someone, I can't imagine losing thousands and not being able to do anything about it.

Come on guys, at least wait until UPS has a chance to pick up the package before calling the # BS. That tracking status is perfectly normal. It is a good question what he's getting though.

Dial down all the jokes that don't add any constructive value, we're tired of the shop BS as it is, and this just makes me more mad. I'm sick of calling Marko and Bill for this stuff.

Charles, I believe that a number of the customers have not paid the full amount for the kits, so the first package might not include say the turbo if they have not been billed yet. Am I correct or incorrect guys? But a 35-40 lb package might be manifolds and some pipe, headers alone could be 25 lbs I am thinking.
