New information on 5.00 gears for GM

Bruce Noland · 11-09-2007, 03:43 PM

I spoke to a different supplier at SEMA this year and unlike Richmond they appear to be very interested in working with us to develop 5.00 gears for GM cars. You may remember that Richmond wanted us to buy a minimum of 50 units to get the project off the ground. I was ready to make that committment, but many folks balked at the price of "purpose built" gears. 5.00 gears from this supplier will not be at bargain basement prices either but the new supplier wants to work with us to get this done. It may take 4 or 5 months before they become available, that is, if they decide to make them.

It would be helpful for those of you who are interested to add your two cents worth.

Thanks

The supplier is running the cost numbers and discussing the gears with his engineering staff. I should have some feedback before the PRI Show.

Me and my son Kevin are interested. Keep us informed. Thanks

Just a quick message to the racers who have sent messages to me about these gears. Please add your names to this thread. Then I will ask the supplier to come visit this site for proof of interest.

Thanks again.
