Sent a PM, no response. I think they are a lil scared since everyone and their brother wants it, and they dont want any defects showing up and no one bitching about it.

So, how much for one?
Thought I seen $300 posted, just wondering if final pricing has changed, and are any ready to ship out.
Need one ASAP

Obviously one for a Vette...

This thing sounds great. My ram adjustable is having issues with my twin disk, and high RPM powershifting is impossible.

Sorry for not keeping in touch guys. Joey was out of town Fri-Mon and I wasn't around a computer all weekend.

We will start taking orders for the vette systems tomorrow, Sept. 2nd. We're waiting on the lines right now, but should have some in within a few days. Everything should be ready to ship out before the end of the week.

We're making a slight modification to the f-body bracket, hopefully it will be ready to start shipping orders within two weeks. If you would like to order the f-body system, we will take pre-orders now also. I've received so many pm's for this its tuff to keep track of everything and everyone. It would be best for everyone to just call in to place your orders with Joey. 704-660-5843


Introductory pricing will be $289.99 for the C5 vette's and $319.99 for the f-body.

-Jonathan

Is this a diy install and/or will there be an install write-up for us rookies? Or does the $290 incl installation.

Parts only, and basically should be like any other MC install. Maybe a write up on how to ball park adjust the MC.

I will include instructions with the kits. The f-body is very straight foward, just bolt it to the firewall using two bolts instead of the original u-bolt. Hook the pedal up, plug the line up, and adjust.

The vette requires removing the clutch pedal structure in order to drill two mounting holes. Its not that difficult however, and it doesn't affect how the original style mounts and theres no other mods to the car/firewall.

I'm not complaining, but why is the fbody unit $30 more expensive?

My guess would be the bracket that's required. Still not complaining though. I'll probably be ordering one of these soon.

The bracket is the difference.

my guess is laser cut or waterjet cut brackets. ssetup & run time on this type of equipment isn't cheap, as well, a designer has to draw it up in CAD, then revise it as necessary.

keep in mind anyone doing anything like this will save money by doing larger volumes, but that costs money. trust me i can relate.

I really hope this is the solution to our problems! I'm calling tomorrow to order mine!

I just barely finished my 402 LS2 install and it's very hard to shift at WOT. In 1st gear the car walks forward when revved beyond 5k. I have the updated GM hydraulics, and the system has been bleed very well too.

I'm not looking forward to changing master's and bleeding but my bloody knuckles will a small sacrifice to being able to shift at full throttle!
