None - manufacturer has operations in Houston. Hurricane hit last week and has disrupted everything.
When I have an update I'll share

Hello all - the gears are all done with the final grind and everyone who placed an order has been contacted.
We had 2 extra sets made, just in case. If anyone else is interested in one of these sets, please reach out to me by the end of the week and I'll extend the $1700 initial price. If we have to inventory them, the price will be $2,000.
If there's any interest in doing another run, I'll get together another several orders and we'll do another run of them. I suspect a 5/6 month lead time after getting the initial orders.
Best,

If they do I would like a set please. Thanks for taking the time to make the gears available to the community.

Hi Jared - yes they do. The gearing files attached are for the V8 version of the box, actually.
Picked up the gears today. They turned out great. I still have 1 available, if anyone's interested.
Best,
John

Installed 5 sets now. I'm expecting the gearbox to be installed in a finished car in the next month or so.

I've finished 4 SL-C's with the new gears. Engines have been the 525 hp LS, 1200 hp twin turbo LS and 2 LT4's. Also have a LS 525 without the drop gears.
The gearing feels great with shift points feeling very natural.
First gear is now usable without sacrificing the acceleration when needed.
I always thought that the Ricardo transaxle gearing was too high and the Graziano stock gears too low. The new gearing finds a great balance between the two.
