I usally never get in here and bad mouth anybody been a member here for a long time worked with many a vendor on here but I can tell u from first hand exp I would never let DTE touch my car again what a joke. Ive been threw 3 DTE rears and I was even dumb enough to let hem keep my car to go threw it make it safe get my N2o to working right and he was going to get me faster well 14,000 dollars yes 14,000 dollars he brings my car to the track cause we were doing a pinks show hell my cars 3 tenths slower and now my N2o not working right and all Phill can say is it was working when I left the shop so now I at the drag strip working on my car does he help no but A guy from another shop helped me. We get my car back to another shop and get the tune fixed that he put on there another Joke so If u want to spend a bunch of money and go slower GO to Dte and I will be glad to post the bills for everbody see what a joke it was dealing with DTE A 14,000 dollar joke. Oh yeah the only time anything I got from rpm broke Is when my wonderfull $5,000 DTE rear end would brake and lock up which was about 3 times
What differential are you presently running,and are you satisfied with it's performance?

Amusing and yet equally inaccurate, incomplete information posted here to say the least, so I'll just simply chime in on our behalf to state that there are *ALWAYS* two sides to every story here Robbie and despite what is posted here, you KNOW the real truth behind what you've unfairly posted. - I wouldn't mention either how I personally delivered your Corvette to you in Alabama that day, (FOR FREE) after driving all night 13+ hours to get the car to you in time for qualifying.
- I wouldn't mention either how your car produced a very smooth, comfortable 758+ RWHP on the N20 (for which you have the e-dyno and hard copy dyno sheet) just before it was loaded up on the trailer.
- I wouldn't mention either how our driveline products succussfully supported your personal bests of 9.50's at numerous tracks thereafter.
- I wouldn't mention either how after a minor N20 activation set point change I made for you at the track before I left, netted you a 3 tenths faster E.T., which put you in the low 9.60's region and got you a winning selection spot in the Pink's ALL Out competition at Montgomery Motorsports Park that weekend. You had a car that could have taken you all the way to the winner's circle if you hadn't fallen asleep on the line in the second round..
No worries though Robbie, as I have no hard feelings toward you for anything you innacurately said both here and at the track that day, nor do I have any inclination to argue about it online or otherwise any longer. You had my apologies for the way everything went that day that wasn't to your satisfaction; hence me sticking around the next morning to make the required electronic adjustment you requested of me to engage the N20 sooner for you. Iit was still great to see a car we built for you running so successfully in the second Pink's All Out competiton that we've built differentials for.
No worries or no offense taken Robbie and we wish you the best of luck with your new combination. Looks like fun and be safe!

Wow - two completely different stories. Almost night and day....only similarities between the two was the use of a DTE differential, N2O tune, a drag race event - "Pinks All Out" competition, and a lot of money spent....
