PPG Output shaft (stock tranny) buy in...

Hey guys. For those of you that use the stock tranny and drag race, you all know how weak the output shaft is and how it can snap. PPG made me one for my dog box last season. Well, Im ordering two, one for Ari and one for myself. I didn't think of this till now, but the more we buy Im sure we can get some sort of discount. Now this isn't cheap, but it beats taking our tranny apart over and over. Its $1000, but like I said I'm sure we can get a couple bucks off. Anyone interested, call Andrew @ Andrewtech Automotive at 240-683-1000. IF you want to know how strong it its, TurboTommy (bought my PPG) is cutting 1.3X 60' times and nothing but good results.

Well ****, I just dropped all of my loot on my Ford 8.8" Rearend swap. But I know my tranny is going to blow up real good on my first dead hook launch.......

Not sure on either question as they are kinda tight lipped on that.
Take a peak at their site:

If I call this time will they not give me the run arround saying they got you (ErnieT) the only 1 in existance, then say we have another on the way, then say well were not even sure if were getting more then one. even when im ready to pay in full to hold it if it ever comes in, or can order me one........ Enough bitching.... bout time, im in

My Fresh rebuild (2 passes after FUll rebuild and cryo treated) with a snapped out put shaft @ pinks....is awaiting this :-)

Ernie since they LOVE YOU how about YOU see what if any price break is avialable, of if they can actually handle extra orders.
