Not good news so far. We have six (6) confirmed so far which is far short of the required twenty. I'll will give this until Friday until I call it quits; there is no reason to let this thing hang out there for too long.

The only other option would be to pay more...\

OKAY... so if we pay more.. are we talking double the cost we already paid???

How long will it take to get to my door if we go this route...??

Should we split the list above and contact each person??

In paying more I would say that we each would buy two or more; no sense in spending the extra money unless you get something for it. Then we could turn around and sell the extra pieces at a higher price. That is about the only way I could see this panning out quickly.

I suspect that after the piece is made others will want it. Maybe we sell the extras for about $150 each.

Anyway, I'll pick up the stock piece I ordered and use it for the time being so I won't request back the piece I sent to Lotek. I just need to suck it up and pay the $40 for the stock piece and leave my old one at Lotek until this think gets made.

it's really amazing. So many people talk shit, but when it comes time to cough up the bucks, no ones interested. Just look at the turbo kit. Everyone wants one and no one wants to pay for it.

Ah Very interesting,... 2-gauge mount for Trany Temp and Nitrous bottle pressure.

I am itching to start feed my bay a Silver bottle (NX) or Purple Bottle (ZEX). I want to be at 13.xx!

I will go with Wet system, starting at 55 Shots!.

Nitrous addict, what is best for the CLS-5AT auto, ZEX wet kit or NX wet kit?

I was going to wait until Friday to check and then I will update both forums. Hopefully we will be getting close but I am confident we are still at least five to eight short.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if someone can give me contact info on the company making the pods. I would like to have a 3 gauge pod made, and I would like to see how much it would cost me if they would custom make one for me. Thanks.

Mc222 put it up again... IT IS 2 POSTS ABOVE YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!...


Like Steve (Scalbert) stated before they will not go into production without 20 of a certain guage pod... But you never know, I am sure you will pay through the nose if you want a cusomt one... give it a try and report back..

As Smitty mentioned, the contact information is above.

As for a 3 Pod, that will cost you about $900. Or you can get a dual pod for about $50.

Been there done that, u need atleast the intrest of 20 other prospective buyers, that would be willing to drop the cash up front for just the development of the 3 gauge.

A custom one made just from u, was quoted to be $1200, I won't say who told me. I ended up going to my local Sound Advice adn I'm in the process of working out something with their leading system builder to custom fabricate me a 4 gauge.

WHAT THE HELL.......$900. That company must be out of their minds. I can get 3 Blitz Podless gauges for $600. You should tell that company that they need to re-think about their prices. $50 is good for two, but why such a Dramatic jump for 3?

You obviously didn't catch the sarcasm...

It takes a minimum order of twenty peices to get a certain piece made. Since you are the only one wanting a triple pod I multiplied $45 * 20 = $900.

Darn answering machine. I doubt I'll get a call back today. I'll also try emailing and let you know. But as far as I can tell we are getting close. I have committed to leaving my stock piece with them, I picked up another at the dealer today.

There is "no" mould to churn out mass quanities. Thus the R&D has to be done to make a mould. Thats why it is so expensive.
