Just when I was feeling secure in it...yes, G&R Auto in Oklahoma City. I've been working with the owner Greg Greene. I guess I'll know Mon or Tue.

And...IT WAS A 10-BOLT!!! 
Refused the delivery and sent the owner a love note asking for resolution...hope he will be a stand up guy on this. I really don't want to file a dispute with my CC company...last time was over HVAC equipment, and didn't go well.

Sorry to here that,I was hoping for a better outcome,after several e-mails from me describing to them the differances between the two, that they would have had it addressed(fuggin figured out) by the time someone else inquired about one.

Sorry to hear it was a 10 bolt.
Supersub, is your Sub a 2wd or 4wd? What are you running for for a driveshaft, and what is your axle ratio? I'm looking into some mods on my 01 2wd Sub and the single piece driveshaft is 69" long. With my planned 4.88 gears the shaft will be hitting critical rpm around 125-130 mph.
Thanks,
Jim

Have some good news...the owner of G and R was very amenable to the shipment of the wrong rearend and personally "scoured the warehouse inventory" for the correct rearend. The 14-bolt is on the way!

The new rear shipped on 10/8 and should arrive this Wednesday.
Once I have it installed I'll go back to Infineon for a new baseline time before I change to 1) the new cam, then 2) the 8-rib 8" crank pulley set up. I'm actually pretty curious as to what the 1/4-mile time difference between the old 3.90 10-bolt and new 3.42 14-bolt will be.
