Looking for a set for my 92 camaro. Which ones do you guys like and does anyone have contact info for these guys? Also if anyone has either for sale I would be interested. Thanks

I've built cars with both [ no not at the same time] , Both work well ,and both Pete and Joe are good guys to deal with.
No matter which one you choose , be sure to reinforce the housing brackets, especially the driver side.

Pet Z is a great guy and will help you with your questions.

The most important thing have found is the bracket on the right side has to fit correctly or it bends and cracks. Your ET will start to vary for no reason 2-3 hundredths if it flexes.

Probably the best thing is to either get your car to him for set up or ship him the housing.
If your doing it yourself understand that the factory brackets are not all exactly the same and neither are the aftermarket units. There is some fitting to be done.

Thanks for the input Tom and Frank. Tom you said to reinforce the brackets especially the drivers side, I would have thought it to be the other way around since the passenger side will have the reload but after reading your comment and thinking about it I see what your saying now. I did find phone numbers for both last night so thanks again for your input.
