depends on how much you value your time.. buying them from southeast, you 'll hafta call.. John Mercedes runs the joint, and he'll answer the phone.. if he likes you, which will be determined by a lengthy interview process, he'll sell them to you for around $275.. you'll have to be sympathetic to his tales of industrial espionage and show keen knowledge of all things Mopar, and at least try to demonstrate a disdain for SCT tuners..

the whole process can take up to three weeks..

if your time and sanity have value, you can get them from Summit for around $350.. that seems to be the going rate anywhere else too..

Well, knowing where I am from, I am sure that you can appreicate the "unofficial doctorate of BS" that I may posess. Sounds like a challenge as far as the industrial espionage thing - don't know if I can pass the "keen knowledge of all things Mopar" though. I may give him a try - saving money is a hobby of mine.....

Thanks.

he's a good guy- i don't mind talking to him... he has some interesting views, and he has a difficult time drawing a line between personal views/opinion and business/professional.. a lot of folks do, but this guy in particular does.. last we spoke, he cussed me out and told me I'm a dumb *** for buying an SCT, and that he wouldn't do business with anyone stupid enough to do such a thing.. then he cussed me out about a machine shop in Ipswich Mass. I turned him on to because a girl I was dating ran the joint- he said "and yeah, your little girlfriend couldn't do anything for me either.. so.. there..".. he is an interesting dude, and the time spent talking to him is worth it on an entertainment level alone.. he knows these engines though.. gotta give him that.. and the rockers are 'sposedly his design which were stripped from him by H&S..

Actually, you can't buy them on the site. So no really. You have to talk to him to get them. I talked to him too once, and he doesn't like Hughes either. LOL

That's funny, when I called him he was badging on KRC, saying the 210x can was a joke and he could grind one that would run circles around it. Which is funny because I don't see how he could claim that not knowing what I intended to use my truck for.


Yeah, he's a funny guy alright.
