******, I said from the onset that I was not trying to say anything negative about BOP. I was simply pointing out that that price was not for the 3 disc lockup, and did not want to see people get something other than what they thought they were getting. PI sells two converters, the single disc which costs about what the price discussed here was, and the 3 disc which costs a few hundred more. I don't consider selling something for hundreds less than you pay for it a deal, I call that a mistake.

In the end, I was correct, and that price was not for the 3 disc lockup. Mark made a mistake, and went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of it. I never said anything bad about him or BOP.

It seems to me that YOU are the one with the chip on your shoulder. As for my knowledge about others, you have NO idea the things I know.

I don't want to step on anyones toes here, but just FYI, that converter is not the same unit being sold by other vendors for close to a grand
Well you started off by saying the above. You had no way of knowing at that point there had been a mistake on the price when you posted that. Looks like a post designed to cast doubt on BOP to me. In fact they did sell firefighter106 a 3 plate converter for that price. So in this case you were and still are wrong. But that's ok you have that right.

As for my knowledge about others, you have NO idea the things I know.
LOL. You've proven many times just what that is so I'm not even going to touch that one.

We'll see when it gets here!!

That price of $689 is still advertised on the LightningForce site.

Ok, if Blue Oval corrected their mistake, how is it that LFP is still selling the 3-plates for $689. I keep hearing Blue Oval defending themselves and assuring that it is a 3-plate, but haven't heard anything from LFP yet.

Let it be known!!
I have not shown any disrespect to any vendors or any other person who signed on to this post.I am totally satisfied with both sides of this discussion. I also feel Blue Oval was jumped on due to alot of people loyal to there tuners. The fact is, this price was up for 6 weeks and it seems I am the only person to buy one.This
leads me to say OPEN YOUR EYES , ask questions and search out your options before you buy. It would be in your best interest to establish a relationship with all available vendors. They have all been a big help in building a truck that will runs 11's when I want to go to get a slurpee.

Now you guys have done it. You've attracted the attention of the info cops. We can't have discussions that set the record straight just floating around now can we. I guess it's ok to spew false info as long as you've paid for the right but you're not allowed to clear up any false statements, unless of course you send a check first.

I'd rather get true info from a non supporting vendor than BS from a supporting vendor that is talking out their a$$ about things, which in this case, they have no clue about. But that's just me or something.
The chip on your shoulder must be blurring your vision... I didn't edit or remove any info. I offered a way to end the conjecture about what type of converter was purchased and I asked a member to abide by the rules he agreed to when he joined. The same rules you agreed to. The traffic that attracts the members here is not free. The rules haven't changed in quite a long time.

As you well know there are many smaller forums cropping up that are positioning themselves as the place to go for "free information exchange". The reality is that they insignificant membership and traffic and can afford to operate without rules, and have become known for reposting copyrighted adult images, immaturity and bashing. In some cases they spend a great deal of time bashing this site and me personally. You would think there would be more interesting subjects.

In some cases the very lack of rules has already bitten them when the content degraded to a constant immature bash fest. And resulted in fledgling membership turning else where. Then the sites realized that some rules are required, and to their credit one or 2 have attempted to clean things up. If they ever get a reasonable amount of traffic they will then realize what it costs to host a popular site, and they will have to come up with their own method of paying the bills.

Since you find this site so distasteful I hope you can find one of these alternatives that will keep your interest.

Well I'm not sure how you got that from what I posted but it's no surprise that you didn't get it straight. Business as usual I guess. Be sure to say hello to Sal when you call him back to tell him how you spanked me.

Oh and why would you bring up that you didn't edit or delete anything? I don't think anyone said you did. Must be a flashback or something.

That's right, I had no idea it was a price mistake. What I DID have an idea of, is what both the single and multi disc converters cost. And the price advertised is several hundred dollars LESS than what PI sells the multi disc for to dealers. So going on that information, there are 3 possible reasons- 1- they are selling the single disc and claiming it's a multi, 2- it's a price error, or 3- they are purposely selling the multi disc for hundreds less than their cost and losing money on each one. I didn't make any claim as to which reason I speculated, I was only pointing out that there was something not right about it. And I didn't really think reason 3 would apply.

Damn that's a smokin' price for a 3 plate PI. I think I'll get one before they are sold out.. If they are all gone Sal will you price match..

FYI, that converter is not the same unit being sold by other vendors for close to a grand. That is the single disc lockup converter (we can get that too) and is not recommended (by PI) for the Gen 2 trucks. You can call PI and ask them, I talked to them this week about this "cheaper" converter I kept hearing about, and that's what they said. Just don't want to see anyone try to save a few bucks and have a part that's going to fail.
Well that pretty much covers #1 - (1- they are selling the single disc and claiming it's a multi). Oddly enough there is no mention in the first post for #2 - (2- it's a price error), but I guess everyone knew that was implied and wouldn't just stop at #1. And #3 - (3- they are purposely selling the multi disc for hundreds less than their cost and losing money on each one) isn't really covered in the first post either. But that's ok as I'm sure everyone that read the first post really knew about #2 and #3. They really didn't need to be told either of those. They only needed to be told about #1, which loosely translates into you're going to get screwed and have a part that will fail if you buy from these guys. I guess that was the really important part that needed to be pointed out since #2 or #3 wouldn't really cast any doubt on them.

It's just good to know that #1 wasn't the truth. Blue Oval Performance has stated that the guy that bought one at that the quoted price will in fact get a 3 plate converter at one heck of a price. It's unfortunate for Blue Oval Performance that #2 turns out to be the reason but I'm sure they learned from this. It's good to know they stepped right up and made it right. As for #3, well I doubt you'd have raised a flag at all if you really thought that was the reason. So like you I don't really think it applies.

Well, I'm just glad I understand what you ment by what you posted in that first post. I feel much better now.

Whatever man . It's obvious that you're just going to see what you want to see, and when shown something different, will just make it look like what you wanted to see anyway.
