jason in southern cali

 

Where are they located?

 

more props for allen here got mine tuned 3 days ago and the only reason i am throwing any lights at all is i had him tune it for 410 gears that werent installed yet .... other than that roars like a raped ape and will rip your neck off all the way till 6200 rpm's met him personally could not be a better guy

 

is that all one sentence?

 

ya what he said

 

Pomona.

 

i jsut called them, am i crazy or is $300 a little pricey for a shift kit install?

 

Thats kinda high even including the shift kit. I've been quoted 150 by several shop for shift kit, servos and acc. springs with me prviding it all.

 

I don't think they will install your shift kit....I called them and asked about getting a Transgo installed and they refused to do it. From what I understand, they have their own 'shift kit' engineered and that's the only one they will install. Maybe it's good, maybe it's not, I don't know, but maybe the reason the price is so high is that it's the price for both their materials and labor.

 

the are located in pomona,,,,,,,,,7 minutes from my house,,,,sweet
today on the drive to and from work (20 miles each way) the tranny felt super and even had a lower rpm than what i was used to,,,meaning,,before at 70 it would be close to 2500,,,,,now its at 2100,,,,,,,,,talk about a burnt up 3-4 clutch pack,,anyhow,,ill keep everyone informed
