    Sweet! Sounds exactly like how my order process went. It was around a week and a half, freight. Crossing the border might make it to the 2 weeks or more. Good luck, hope it works out!

    Ok. All done last Saterday. I am running stock 4:30 on 32s. I have to say @BLtheP review of this set up is bang on so all i am going to do is give my impression according to my driving style. I rarely ever WOT especially below 3000rpm. I dreaded that atrocious bearing or pinging sound you get when not reving high enough in 1st and having to feather the throttle in 2nd gently to around 1800rpm before increasing more rapidly to 3 to 4k rpm and then if neccessary WOT. With the new set up 2nd comes in nicley as low as 1300rpm or 17kmh . You can now casually take off or aggressively with out that dreaded sound.unfortunatly there are pros and cons to everything and the con here is 6th gear.on 32s its defanattly a no go.but for the time being this thing runs so great and i am not running much highway i am in no rush to do the re gear to 5:30 .

    Sweet!! Glad it finally worked out for ya. I’ve been using 6th less and less on mine, I just find I like it better as a 5 speed. It is capable of using 6th but I just don’t like it that much, especially in a speedy metroplex when speeds vary a lot. Too much downshifting required for me, so I like to just use 5th. Mileage has barely changed as a result, maybe 1 mpg worse on average. I still got 18.5 on a road trip going 75-85 in 5th, with hills no less. So I see no downsides to driving it like a 5 speed.

    Super cool to see this swap gaining in popularity.
