I honestly dont give a ****, I understand powell has made alot of amazing items for this platform but the man aint even got a functioning website so I can buy them, and im not playing run around with gloria to get my order in, I tried that once before and didnt get a reply back for days. If he had a website to place my order on id bought something from him by now.

PM me your real name or email and I will be pleased to check and see why we failed for you. At the same time, like C_D_88 says, we are two here, and it gets busy no doubt. I am online and available/accessible, I would guess, more than most vendors here. Gloria also has a NASCAR officialing gig in the summer, so generally we have an "outofoffice "reply set when she is away.

Some things take time, special custom parts for example. Sometimes we get stiffed by customers when we ship because its urgent for them and they dont pay. Sometimes customers ask for stuff that really takes a lot of work and has doubtful return. Automatic engine mounts to raise the powertrain for extreme slammed cars are an example.

We dont stock or resell other peoples parts either; unless we have it in stock for our customers in the race shop, thats not our business. You want headers or aeroforce gauges, try ZZP, we buy from them, they have good service. YOu want Koni shocks or intercooler pumps ( we get out pumps from Yates Motorsports) there are vendors out there.

For some folks who complain, well, sometimes when we review the complaint, it turns out that it was not quite what it was suggested happened.

In your case, I cant say until we can trace your history, and we dont work off screen names. Feel free as I say, to PM me.

I will say that it will be a cold day this winter if and when we decide to do ecommerce off the web site . This is the site that B.Rad is now tuning up.

Sorry it didnt work out for you.

The OTTP deal is a whole other story. The issues there will be a matter of public record, you just have to go look.
Enjoy your ride.

No, thats not the goal I was asked for, but it is a side effect. The concept expressed often that rigid mounts "increase torque" is nonsense. With a soft mount, once the motor moves in whatever direction (accelerating for example) it stops moving. That initial lost motion doesnt "lose torque".But no doubt, soft mounts isolate vibration and most folks are happy with that. There are a few who drag race their cobalts and would like to reduce the isolation to eliminate wheel tramp. Some want to lower their cars so much the axle angle is extreme the vibrations are bad , the cv's wear out quickly, and the only way to fix that is either to "drop the spindle" or raise the powertrain unit. What folks have asked for is a kit for slammed auto Cobalts to get the axles back to a reasonable angle parallel to the ground.

Probably best to start a new thread on it... I hope to get stuck back into the auto deal in the next few weeks, now that our LNF PCV unit work is done.

I never got my order placed so yall dont have my name, like I said u make great parts but without having a running website its a pain in my ass to order stuff from you. When I went to order a stg 1 tranny mount I got a reply from u telling me to msg gloria and it was like 2 or 3 days later I got a reply from her but I told her nvm that I got something else instead.
