I know they are quite busy, and sometimes the PM's get lost in the shuffle when the phone is ringing, that happens to me.

Maybe I can be of assistance? I sell UMI products (and I use them on my own car as well), and I'm sure I can answer most any question you might have.

They are busy people. I met Ryan this weekend at Thunder in the North. Very knowledgable and willing to help. I can't wait to buy their products. I believe they blew up their rear end yesterday, though.

Sorry guys, yes we check our PM's and respond usually with in 24 hours. However just like you2slo mentioned we have been at that the Thunder in the North show since Friday Morning and just got back in the office this morning. If you haven't gotten a response please bare with me, I have 3 days worth of them I am going through. I have read most of them just replying takes the time.

Thanks for understanding

Ryan

*Also yep, the posi blew in the rear. I am little embarassed with the track times but I will just blame that on Jerry the driver

Sure, blame it on Jerry! JK, your car sure sounded wicked with the TD's dumped before the axle, and made good power on the dyno! Jerry did keep hitting the rev-limiter though going down the track.....you should have made a couple of passes!

LOL, well I will blame him as long as I can until he reads this

He was complaining the entire way home about his driving (he is a good driver, just need more track tune time). Since we tuned it the rev limiter was set higher and the stock tac follows slower...he doesn't have a shift light yet. So I will give him the benefit of the doubt this time...next year we will come a little more prepared

I understand, if I didn't have a Harlan shift light I'd probably sound worse than him when going down the track. My old eyes just can't go from the tach to the shifter quick enough !!
