Default Bowtie overdrives

Just wondering how long it took everyone to get a quote back from Bowtie overdrives? I emailed them about a week ago and still haven't heard anything back. I am really looking toward their input on the whole 700r4 and 200r4 debate along with the current prices for a complete install package. Any other venders you all went to to get your overdrives?

Shouldn't take that long. Just one email? Possibly got lost... I'd send a follow up, or give them a call.

I've dealt with them twice and both times service was excellent.

I just installed a Monster 200 4 R in my 78 and its a different ride. I also changed the torque convertor. Did the work myself so got everything installed for less than 2 grand.
