Lol no I never put it on YouTube.. Lol let's jus say I was a smart one and nls'd into 4th and
got a good pop or 2 and when it went into the hole kabamm.. no more 4th gear haha. so I strongly suggest not using nls. especially on a stage 4 clutch and above stock hp

it's ok though, nothing external broke, that was a while ago anyways. Even if I had
it I couldn't post it right now cuz I'm leaving for afghanistan today. so the Balt is at home, waiting for the green light on the build.

BUT when i called you guys told me to pound sand

just an example for you... there are hundreds out there.


you told me to pound sand on my flex pipe and whisper resonator too...


grrrrrreaaaaat customer service... thats why some shop around, ever think of that?


You should have recieved some different fasteners for the top bolts, our bad. I would guess no one told you to pound sand, that's the dumbest metaphor I have ever heard. I also know that you are the only person to complain about the 1/2" thick flange needing to be re-surfaced. We have sold quite a few manifolds without any complaints. If you didn't do the install, I guess you should have installed the manifold yourself if you wanted to save money. Judging from how clean the back of your motor and manifold is I would guess that there was just a bad job done on the install. According to you the customer service was bad but atleast you recieved some, lol, and if you are still unhappy with the manifold pm me and I will take care of it. I also don't believe that we told you to "pound sand" because you recieved a refund on the resonator. The post that was made was asking us to help out with another companies product, that's not our responsibility. We deal with people calling for tech support everyday on other companies products, we don't offer tech support on other companies products. Why would someone even think that. That would be like buying a Honda and calling the Chevy deal for a diagnosis. I guess at least you are talking about our product not another companies, lol.
Did I mention full Refund!!!!!

I personally worked with you on the resonator issues and seeing this makes me sick. I hate liars. I should have told you to pound sand. Not only did we accept a return against company policy, but we refunded you against company policy and even refunded your shipping money which is against company policy.

This is what spoils the market for everyone. Seeing these makes me say "why bend the rules for anyone?" When customers like you...

Deny if you want, all I need is your permission to post details of your personal transaction refund and I will. Or is this where you ignore this post and reply by ripping on zzp/me over something different.

Quick question matt.. will the stock tranny hold up with ur TC kit?? Until more funds become aval for stage 4 clutch.. since the stock clutch is rated at 400+??

You got to pay to play with the big boys.. but smart men research, other don't..

well anyway, at least I should have some news on the auto swap we did tomorrow lol.

I dunno I like the final drive on the lnf trans, but they are definitely not strong enough to handle the extra stress put on the trans. I rocked my car at 440-500whp and never once had a transmission issue, not even a broken pin on the linkage. but I've already personally witnessed 2 lnf trans explode. one was just tuned but drove like a moron nls'ing every damn shift. Other was a big turbo tc just getting on the highway of all things. as for the turbo cars we've built in the garage, only one had a trans issue, and that was on a 4500 rpm launch off the 2 step at 17psi, she no likey. Pretty much spun the gears off the shaft (no joke) felt like a slipping clutch, but it wasn't lol. other than that we did a few 400+whp cars that haven't had a single issue.

How hard is a Final Drive swap? would it be more cost effective to go to a LSJ/HHRSS F35 transmission alltogether

Now, how about we turn this back into a transmission thread, and not a bash BBG thread. I am sorry all of you are jealous he can drop the kind of coin on his car that he does. Thats what happens when you get a real job, you can spend money on nice things.
Your trans should be fine, but you are going to have to be real careful with a stock clutch. It will slip the first time you go WOT in 4th at 60mph or try to nls.

Make the trip if you can. You will get a free dyno tune out of the deal. If you can't, we will write up some instructions for you. We need to complete them, anyway.

Matt..
I really wish I could but it would take another 3 to 4 months to get the cash together again..
By then the summer is over.. But, I did order the TC kit on Tuesday.. just make sure to have instruction included.. Thanks.

Matt,
Can your turbo upgrade kit be made to work with a saturn sky redline?

I want one! When is a realistic time for your Trans Upgrades to be available to the public?
