Stage 2+ shipment begins in earnest

We received another shipment of parts, the rest will be here either tomorrow or early next week. With this shipment we were able to get a set out yesterday, and four more sets are leaving today. We should have all of these shipped in the next 7-10 days. We thank everyone for their patience. As far as Jason or sponsor car that got the first set, he got his Valve Body back, and it is going in today. The only track event he can attend is on the 21st of this month, but he has a Vbox and will do some verified 1/4 mile runs until then, and hopefully get the car on the dyno. Looking forward to his results!

Also wanted to post this up as a sort of first review of Stage 2+, I love this email. Its so good in so many ways..

This is what Jason sent me right after getting his car back on the road, keep in mind, his car ran an 11.29 as it was before with our Stage 2 batch 1's on it...

"Alright so first let me say No Homo but I F'ing love you dude. This shit is insane. I am just running the same maps with no adjustments and 80/20 meth and this thing was getting sideways at 75. I can't even describe how nasty it is. I will get some logs when the valve body gets here and in because it's going to destroy this trans. if I dont. You are a mad scientist to come up with something this great. Just went to get some e85 and wasn't planning on getting on it and a new vette got beside me and was jumping trying to get me to run. In one quick blip of the throttle he was toast. I walked it like he was in a chevette. This is easily a 10sec. Car. Just gotta wait on trans parts. This is gonna be fun dude. I am so excited I'm shaking. Thanks dude you are awesome."

Congrats Tony. Interested to see how these hold up. Absolutely no question the potential is pretty spectacular considering you retain the OE housing, and a totally stock look in the engine bay.

Since the engine is out of the shop car, I pulled our set off of them to take them apart and take a look, at 4000K+ miles there was not even any detectable wear on the thrust, it looked almost brand new, the thrust is usually what takes most of the wear. This was abusing the hell out of them, constant 30psi+ testing, I have no doubt these are going to hold up great.

I cannot wait to get my car budget in line to get these and get the car dialed in by PTF. Will these require any LPFP upgrades based on your testing VTT? No E85 here, just methanol.

Tracking mine now. Thanks for being so up front about delays and helping out my installer. Will get pics and results once I'm done. Final tune and mods will be done in January but turbos, FBO, and Juicebox 4 are going in the first week of December.
Thx again Tony.
