Nobody has them available yet. West Coast Corvette, has bought the first run from motive gear, and claim they will be available in a month or so. Corvettes of Houston, and Breathless Performance will resell this gear via WCC.

You may want to follow up with this thread before diving in with a overhauled unit. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=194399

Hey Brad,

It was good meeting you at the True Blue Dyno Day. Nice numbers and especially like your color choice. I am also interested in these gears. Let me know what you find out.

Also, I am buying myself a Christmas present and I have decided on a custom cam and TPIS headers. You mentioned that your uncle or someone you know could install them for me. Let me know what you can do for me.

You can e-mail me at takedat@madisonriver.net

Thanks
:seeya
