Thanks, Rick I'll call tomorrow with the credit card info for the gear set. Money is on the way through your web site!

Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday bald headed old gearhead. Happy Birthday to me.

The Vortech/AEM/550 injector combo put 296hp to the wheels but it was cutting out, apparently due to some unreliable spark coils. More info to follow with new Dyno runs. Maybe we can break 300 and still be reliable.

You will be able to place an order for the new 4.56 gear set on our web site by Monday. Check www.ricks2k.com periodically between now and then.

It's Tuesday and I've been checking and still nothing!

Rick are you planning on setting up some sort of installation deal with Antrim Way Honda like you have with hardtopguy? Tony D left a message on my machine yesterday and it sounded like he may have been suggesting you were... I could be wrong though

The 4.56 gear sets have a 1-year warranty from Richmond Gear, which runs from the time of installation, not purchase.
Rick; any idea on lead time until you have product in stock ?

What if I supply the Comptech Housing? I have one sitting in my garage. Can you just have Jeff throw the 4.56 or 4.77 in? I have the 4.44 already in the car.

Contact Jeff, Dan, about whether he can do this.

Richond is telling us production will be 8-12 weeks.
