Gauging Interest: Hardened Ring & Pinion / Transfer Case Upgrades *Pic Added

We would like to gauge interest in what we feel could be one of the most exciting new product releases of the year. We have developed an aftermarket ring and pinion that is made from the highest quality steel hardened to Rockwell 60 for the utmost in durability and longevity that can be utilized when replacing worn OEM parts or as an upgrade in and of itself. The best part is the pricing, as we can offer this ring and pinion for just $1099.99 shipped which is significantly less than even the OEM unit that is nearly impossible to purchase anyways. We also plan to offer an upgrade service that consists of the following for just $1499.99 shipped with a core exchange:

- Upgraded case bolts from 8MM to 10MM
- Set bearing preloads with tighter tolerances
- New seals including a complete tear down and cleaning
- Additional modifications to help the stock front diff live longer with more power



Your input regarding this product would be greatly appreciated. If there is enough demand for this product we will move forward and will be in need of customer feedback, please don't be shy if you would like to be one of the first to get your hands on this bad boy!

Could you elaborate on "additional modifications". Do you perform any sort of shimming like shep, etc. does? Option to install aftermarket LSD's etc?

$1099 is for the upgraded ring and pinion only, the $1499 price includes the rebuild service and upgrades. We will also have options with new LSD's in the near future, just gauging interest at this point

I was getting Tcase whine and this is what I was looking to change out. I have a RS tcase w/ FLSD. What kind of turn around time is expected. I am interested in this for sure. What fluid would you recommend running?

So would the price be any more to send you a whining non-acd tcase? I assume not since you are replacing a new ring/pinion, but how much would total be to send you a whining tcase and have your ring pinion, mods, and install a Quaiffe LSD? Thanks! This sounds like it could be a good product.

That would fall into the $1499 category sir I'm checking on turn around times now and will report back shortly, in regards to fluid I believe we recommend Redline lightweight for street cars and heavyweight for all out race cars.

I'd be down for this as a test subject if you'd like. Question is, would I get the Quaiffe from you? Or do I have to purchase and send it to you? Id be interested in this setup along with a Quaiffe. I'd love to give it a try. Let me know when these will be available.

Out of curiousity, what is the Rockwell Hardess of the stock ring/pinion?

If this will truly offer better wear life than the OEM parts, I am interested. Price is right.
