subd for a hopeful finally product
|
Last I checked they weren't but perhaps cop can shed some light on that topic.
clubgp would just troll this guy off honestly.... There is a "I am super amazing and I can spawn GMR chains out my ass" thread there every few months as well.
I believe ZZP is in their testing phases for their new custom chain, so I may wait a few more months before dropping coin into a market with some stout competition (and backed by a company that will waranty their product). ZZP has broken more chains and built more transmissions than anyone else in the 4t65 market, so like them or not.. they are going to be able to offer a better product for cheaper due to volume and upfront development costs / testing being cheaper. Getting one of these chains/gears in a transmission, and down a track in 10 seconds or less is achievable by less than 2 cars that actually would buy them.. and that sort of testing could take a year if someone is brave enough to spend the time and money doing the testing.
So if you do choose to go through with this, make sure you have a chain at least 4x stronger than stock.
I have been in talks with Zoomer on this as well it is a LOOONG way out. I am not trying to be a super hero here guys I am just trying to find a solution as I am a 4t65e owner as well and am looking to do a 500whp build. I know about durability tests and wouldn't even throw something on the market unless it was 4x or more over OE and would warranty the chains and sprockets as well. You have to remember the first person out the door with one of these sets wether it be ZZP, TEP, or anyone else, will be the go to guy for the parts to put in custom tranny's (kinda like they went to GMR). If I can get the sets made cheap and R&D isn't out of this world then I might be onto something. 1 company told me tooling and R&D would be anywhere from 12000 to 18000 which isn't bad but I have to jump hoops wait for call backs and make sure they can make quality chains. I should be flying to NC in a few weeks to tour a plant and see what they got.
I have two brand new chains that I will be selling in the near future. I was hopeful that I would find a gearset and get it in the transmission this year, but wasn't able to and have since decided to go a different route in the future with racing. If you are interested in a new 7/16 pitch chain please let me know.
Id be interested. Pm me info.
Just to still be helpful you realize the 1" change is extremely hard to come by and you'll be paying at least a 1k+ for it.
