Wanted:FT Valve Body

Who all sells this valve body, other than PSP?
LFP does but doesn't list a phone number.
Anybody else?

Thumbs up

Kipster

Ordered my valve body from mark at LFP and had it in 3 days and he was $10-20 cheaper than PSP. Lisa at PSP said they were out of them and it would be a few weeks. Got it last week.

I ordered my electric fan (flex a lite) from Mark at LFP last week and had it 5 days later as he also ordred the special mounting bracket from them as well. Mark is great! Did you order the single or twin electric fan?

Other than PSP? Do we smell or something? (don't answer that ).

Seriously, we have a bunch coming in this week, I have some pending orders, but I am pretty sure not all of them are accounted for.

Miami, marks price is $199 on his site, am I missing something?

Sal,
Nothing personal, but I ordered one from you June 17th after I was told they were in stock.
I'll have someone here in a few weeks to reflash my EEC and need to get this in soon.

Miami,
Whats up man, Where do you live down there. Im a born and raised Miamian. I lived in Perrine/Cutler Ridge for about 20yrs then Kendall for 3yrs and Now ive moved up in the world. Daytona Beach. Im their about every other weekend. Family still there. Anyways, I ordered the 18" electric fan that uses the factory shroud. Looks like JDM. I had the flexalite dual fans and returned them to summit because i didnt like the look of them installed. Anyways Mark has great phone manners and all if you can get him. LFP is a second business for him and hes hard to reach. He tells me hes been waiting for the harnesses for the kits. Im not trying to burn no bridges but my clock is ticking. I was suposed to put my truck in the shop last week and a business trip got pushed back to this coming mon. so itll go this coming week while im gone. But it looks like the fans wont be there. I got the water pump 3 wks ago. Ill still buy from him but i suggest you order over the phone.

I understand Rick, I know what it's like to want parts right now, I'm an impatient Lightning owner too . You were told it was in stock, and it was and still is. But to be fair to everyone, we ship orders in the order we receive them, so we've been cranking out parts working our way up to when you placed yours. Just let me know if you still want it or not. Thanks.

Sal, you must be doing some serious business to be backlogged for two weeks.

In all fairness to Sal, the reason he's out is because I am slow in shipping them. I sent him an order today and he should be shipping them on Friday. Sorry for the delays, but put the blame where it belongs, on me.

John, we've got over 150 orders here on board to go out. It's a madhouse. Over the winter I was hoping for a bit of a slow down, so we could catch up, but it never happened. It's been ***** to the wall non-stop orders. Some say good for business, but I HATE having to make people wait for stuff when we are this jammed. All we can do is our best, and hope we don't loose too many customers from waiting. At least my customers are very satisfied with our products when they get them. No excuse for a long wait, but a little comfort to know they felt it was worth it .

Sal, I understand the growing pains you are going thru. I too am a small business owner and had to hire an inexpensive, yet competent, worker to do shipping for me during the winter when we were doing eBay. I was trying to do most of it myself and other areas were lagging behind. Sometimes you gotta spend money to make more of it.

Sal,

As long as you are honest and upfront with customers that's all they can ask for. I know I am as impatient as they come when waiting for parts. If I order something and am told it's in stock and then I don't have it two weeks later it burns me up...I hate to wait, especially if I have paid already. However, if I am told it's gonna take two weeks to ship, I'll be disappointed but at least I know the truth. Just treat customers as you would want to be treated when you buy something.....from what I hear from your customers and one of your distributers you're a class act and a great tuner. I know you've been nothing but helpful to me on the boards...keep up the good work

What didn't you like about the flexalite fans? Can you give any more detail about the 'looks' that you didn't like?
The flexalite is what I planned on installing since they have a bracket available for the intercooler (so I've heard).

Thanks,
John
