yeah i love the place,
thats where i go for all my odd needs. another plus is that it
is about 4 min from my house.
i plan on going there for some dyno pulls soon. quoted me 125.00 an hour seems to be a very decent price to me.
although they probably consider me a regular patron. so that might be a deal. when i call there the guy that answers the phone (justin) knows me by the sound of my voice.

well they don't have prices listed, that rjays link above seems to be the most reasonable i've found at half off lokars msrp.

is that dyno amount with tunning or just pulls as $125 doesn't sound too bad. out this way it's $50-75 for 3 pulls.

unsure on the tuning issue didn't bother to ask.
probably run it there at the end of the race season.

well midwest has lots of the stuff in stock i believe to be overflow from the hotrods they build from the ground up.

i have the trans dipstick, oil dipstick. the 2 post throttle cable and tv cable bracket along with the cables (cool setup)

as with any after market product changes to the stock parts need to be made.

all very simple though. it was harder for me to fab up my one of a kind 1 piece billet t-stat housing.

had to have something on my car completely original

I got the dipstick tube and throttle cable although i havent used either yet. I used a throttle ccable for TPI on my friends car though. I had to do a little work to get it right but it wasnt a big deal

thanks guys, yeah i need to get a dipstick or two as well as the throttle lines for the new drivetrain. i'm also looking at their floor mounted emergency brake as well as a shift indicator and a few other little misc things so i'd like to find a place that sells their parts at a reasonable price. unfortunately lokar doesn't offer product sponsorship unless your vehicle is already corporate. if you go by the base msrp in their catalog the parts are 2-3 times what you can find them in some of the online shops.
