old post i know, but NO. that means they simply made a new tracking # for that package on ups.com nothing more. they have an acct, clicked make a shipment, put in address, package weight and delivery method, and have a label. the tracking exists but they have to drop it off still

Good news from the front - I spoke with Mike Stafford today (thanks again for calling me back Mike!).

For the time being I'm giving them the benfit of the doubt, and giving them time to straighten things out. Sounds as if they are having a rough time keeping things organized with the buisness.....Hope things get straightened out so everyone else gets good service as well....

BTW, mike pm'ed me the other day and said he shipped out my stuff 2nd day air, but no tracking #.......so we'll see, i should have them 2morrow if he is telling the truth.

ok, i got my pipes and fuel system today.......but guess what, no oil pan fitting. I called and mike said he threw it in there, but i ripped the box apart into a million pieces and no fitting

So, they are gonna ship me one on Monday.

btw, with the new spray foam insulation they use, it is a bitch to unpack and make sure you have some rubber gloves cuz part of it was still wet and my hands are now covered in it.

Edit: Mikey just called me back and told me that he will be sending my RFL bov with new charge pipe next wk too. Thanx for calling me mike

In terms of what date Dragon? The kits are near completion but there is no final word. SF says they are done, but like I said until I see tracking numbers that say transit and a state other than california in the tracking info-- I wont tell you that they are shipped. Guys, please be patient --- I know its impossible to be, but there is little I can do except dog them daily to get it done. I know many of you who are waiting ung-dly long are pissed and are gonna fry me for asking you to be patient, but thats all that can be done at this point unless you want to put the law to work for you. Im sorry for the delay, it will come shortly -- the kits that is.

Well, the ones that bought kits from you have only been waiting about 2 months. This thread just happened to get hijacked by the people waiting on kits from SF's November GB.

We'll live for a while, lol.

Are you sure about that price? I called and spoke with them a while back, if I remember they wanted like $4500 for a custom kit....I don't think that included dyno time as well...
