VTT doesn't do group buys, they never work, people sign up, and never pay. We do a discount code that has a limited number of uses. This one will be for the first 10 purchases, $200 off the normal retail price.

AND go.... "SHOTGUN200"

Please keep in mind, we are still waiting on the parts to arrive, but they are finished expect at LEAST 2-3 weeks for shipping, we are balls deep in race season, and SEMA this month, and early next.

I'm really interested in the new shotgun, I'm sure this has been brought up, but on an already known for failure belt system, does this add to the stress of the pulleys, belt, and the known crank bolt (I know you have a fix for this too, but just for the knowledge base of so for future costumers)

I guess this would also be a good time to upgrade to that aluminum power steering pulley

Mine is 6k plus old and still looks like new, no crank bolt lock and no issues

Done over 50 passes at drag strip and couple of track days with absolutely no issues.

I'd dare to say the failures people seen might be due to install error.

The belts fail more on the early year cars when the PS pulley contacts the frame and cracks, then shredding the belt for front main seal ingestion. There's a subframe fix for this, and metal pulley, and generally a good idea to upgrade motor mounts on older cars to help prevent this. Ohhhhh and regular belt maintenance with tensioner and idlers after OFH gaskets etc.

I know about the pulley obviously, and I have a 034 driver mount and a solid pass mount, but what is the subframe fix? Is this manually notching it or is it actually a newer part number? I think I read something that 09+ has a different subframe perhaps.
