That one looks really nice. I like the darker finishes myself. The thing about ordering with Frank is the level of customer service regardless of brand you buy. He can get pretty much whatever you want at a fair price. If you see one you like, ask if he can get it. I'm not saying any other vendor is bad, just that we all know Frank is a stand up guy and will treat you right.
DSE has a nice front runner too, Billet Specialties, Vintage Air, Zoops, March...
I Think it comes down to pulley style and finish. All the companies have good products. I am going with a vintage air unit for a big block. From Frank when i am ready to order.

Last I heard some were having issues with this....

There's quite a few diff set ups. I've never had an issue using billet specialties. I think I've done 10 + set ups and never had an issue

I like the newer style Billet Specialties setup, and I think the Wegner setup is really nice, too. You can't go wrong with either of those.

What finish are you looking to have on it?

At this point I would avoid it. I've had issues with mine that he was going to take care of months ago. If he won't do what he says for me as an admin of a site he wants to be a supporting vendor for, he sure as hell isn't going to take care of you.

I just bought a Vintage Air unit, and in my opinion it's an excellent unit. The Wegner is great bang for the buck, the Billet Specialties and others are nice too, but it depends on the look you're trying to achieve. I was going for a more OEM look without the polished pieces. Wegner also fits that bill. Here's a pic of the VA unit, pic isn't good but gives you an idea.

I like the Sidewinder that ATS puts out. I'd call Tyler and see if he has one in stock. If not it might be a bit of a wait on the back order.
