It's a hard price to beat!

Jay said he was confident that the standard duty would hold up to my H/C/Nitrous 6 speed convertible (heavy, with lots of DS stress) at the track without a problem.

I know some people need driveshafts, and I haven't seen more than one heavy duty piece for sale on any of the boards for the last month. Surely there's some demand here.

You going to a 6 speed buddy?

Oh Snap this is real tempting but I'm gonna have to figure out the length for mine with a TH350 first

Already done.

Got a few minor details to work out now, but it's just a matter of getting the time to do it. Gotta reflash my PCM with an M6 .bin and tidy up a little wiring and it'll be good to go. Time is my problem though, working 60 hours a week with finals coming up leaves me a little cramped. Sounds like you've been getting a little more crazy with your changes than I have though, TH350?

I'd personally like to see these shipped within a week or two if we get enough people, it'd be nice to have it here by the time I get the clutch broken in.

wrencher, if you still haven't gotten a response, post your question here. Things are very busy at their shop, so they probably respond to e-mails in batches. If you post here, I can try to answer it, or if I don't know the answer I can get it for you without much trouble.

Floyd, I saw your car over there last time I stopped in. Very nice.

Wrencher, my best guess is that these will ship once we get 5 orders. I'm pretty anxious myself, but I can't just make people jump in on this.
