I see you got your Eaton Ported by Apten. How much was it if u don't mind me asking? How did you send it and how long did it take? I am really considering get my done as well.

I have never been to the any of the tracks before but I really want to go this years and get some real numbers not just from the G-tech.
I sent via FedEx. I don't recall the cost breakdown, off-hand, but that total cost was a little over $750, including service, shipping there and back, etc. That was also when the dollar was lower, so it shouldn't be so bad, now.

I did it during the wintertime, so I was already without the L, anyway, but it was about 2.5 weeks. I pulled the blower on a Sunday, shipped on Monday. It was received later in the week. Came back early the 3rd week.
(M-T-W-T-F-S-S-M-T-W-T-F-S-S-M-T-W)

It took an extra day in customs, because they couldn't understand that the part came out of my truck, was sent there for "repair" and was now coming back...

Went back on the following weekend, real easy... I was happy with the service, and the results

Seems like we may be able to get a handful of trucks together, for a day at the track

Hey guys,

Me and my Lighting are moving to the big TO in September, I'd love to meet up with other owners to shoot the sh*t or make a few passes down the 1320'. I'd really like to get into Solo I or Solo II racing as well, I picked up a few brochures from Toronto Motorsport I believe at the Auto Show when I was there last. Got to see the beautiful Lightning concept there as well, very upsetting that it won't be built

,Marc

Hello everyone, I hit the tracks regularly with svtsteve2.

We go most every weekend if any of you want to go.

Would any of you be interested in a LIGHTNINGS VS. DAKOTAS CHALLENGE. The Dakota club has St Thomas reserved for Sat. May 7th and we are welcome to show up.

Shannonville

I'm heading to Shannonville on June 17 for my first test and tune night.. Anyone else heading up there or would be interested in going.

Track Beast Sorry I never pm'd you about the porting but the funds are a little low. I'm getting married soon. I hope when time comes to get the porting done we can talk.

Eric
