Yeah I'm out. When I heard it was more than likely going to Cinci I made an appointment to get it done on the 16th. I'm impatient, sorry guys.

List updated

I updated the list to include what people are asking for. Seems like Cincy only has 7 maybe 8 and not everyone wants pulleys. Chicago has at least 8 if not more! I'm still hopeful! If you are still intrested, please post on the WMS Thread!

Let me know if I missed anyone.

Looks like Randy took notice of the low number of pulleys people want in Cincy. If you still might be interested in a pulley please post it in here. I know I'm still interested! and hopeful.

The Chicago pulley party has officially died this morning. oh well. WMS Cincy Thread has finally listed the filled time slots from Randy with enough people to get him out there.

I went ahead and signed up for one of the last slots for the Cinci so it seems like I get to take a short road trip. Should be fun!
Thanks to all who tried to get this to happen here in Chicago. It was a noble effort.

well after reading that thread it's clear as mud where it's being hosted

I don't care though, I'll blow off a day of work to get my pulley installed.

I signed up for 2pm Thurs time slot.

Yeah, after i posted that, the location became quite unclear. Currently it seems Gabe has offered his place, pending confirmation from Randy. Hope that works out, it would be very convienent for me since I work in the same area.

he'll still install it and I think in one of his posts somewhere he says he'll still warranty it too....although going to one of his partners or him for support might be a bit of a challenge

$280 for the install labor

Cool! What's the consensus on the HDI? I'm also looking to install an intake, but can't decide between HAI and the HDI... I'm looking for the most power :impatient I also want the supercharger to be heard

WOW - Randy did some marathon hours at the Chicago pulley party. I think he started at 8am and didn't finish the last car until 3am the following morning.

He was entertaining, informative and an all around SFA guy. I learned a lot and am glad that I blew off a day of work to get this done at his final Chicago pulley party.

THANK YOU RANDY & GABE!

I left Gabe's around 3am and didn't park the car at home until about 5am. I was just having too much fun playing with the new power and listening to the different sounds that the HDI was making over the stock setup.

o-ron, too bad you couldn't make it. btw, Randy talked me out of getting my CAI installed (xmas present from last year from family) and I had an HDI installed instead...so if you're interested in picking up a CAI while you're in town at Patrick, I've got a deal for you otherwise I'll be putting it up for sale soon in the Marketplace forum)

I told you Chicagoans that Randy and Brian were awesome. Finally a pulley party that had great following in the Chi-Town area. Will he come back????? for a special LARGE party? See you in Denver Randy.
