Chris's 66 Chevelle upgrade

[bkswede]

Glad to hear that it’s fixed and ready to go - sh*t happens, as they say, and it happens to all of us!

At this point can you contest the original HB purchase CC charge? If so, maybe that's the way to go & purchase a HydraBoost set-up thru a different source.

Agreed, still close to being able to dispute the charge and go with another... SummitRacing has several in stock, personally have this hydro boost that came with my '68 Camaro and haven't had any issues.

As the guy that ordered this unit for Kwhizz, I assure you that no one is more pissed about this than me. Really, I promise.

For some perspective, in the past year I waited 4 months for a set of brakes from StopTech, over 3 months for a Dakota Digital order, nearly 3 months for a set of wheels from Billet Specialties and as far as I know none of those companies are going out of business.......nor is anyone ready to burn them at the stake. Getting supplies for and from anyone for anything has been a mess. No company can deliver something they don't have.

To help the reader understand, I am not defending HydraTech. Their lead time has _always_ sucked. Never once have I called there and talked to a person, I always leave a message. Most of the time they call me back. I also think that they are relatively expensive for what they are.

However, I would wait 4 years for a HydraTech unit and I would cut holes in the floor and stop the car like Fred Flintstone before I bought another CPP hydroboost.

I understand & feel a need to support those that support the hobbyist. But, switching teams to get something done is just sometimes a fact in life. If you can pick-up a set-up that's good (I understand the CPP poke) why not? You can always choose HydraTech for a future project.

I agree 100%....... CPP sells Garbage..... I am a graduate of buying CPP Engineered "JUNK" Kits.....

Glad it worked out for you. I ordered mine thru MCB and was quoted about a 6 weeks turn-around and got it in about 4 weeks.
