Let us know how long it takes to get it. My car was going to be down for a bit so I thought I would send it in for a rebuild and to see if I could get it anodized. They said yes to both. It has been there since October 2. Every time I called, I was told it would be going to anodizing and be 2-3 weeks. I called Dec 1 and asked about the status. I was told it was at anodizing and would be back to them this week. I could have been driving it otherwise. I since sold the blower and am waiting on the Kong 3100 so it's arrival isn't as important now.
I am sure they are busy but even with my almost infinite patience, I thought it was a little long for a rebuild anodization. I guess I shouldn't say anything anything until it is back in my hands.

Yep, I am giving them until Jan 2 and then I will call again and "express concern" (my wife's phrasing as she said she doesn't complain or b!tch about things).
you should keep the carbon rotors to reinstall for when you sell the car as it will be worth much less without the cc brakes
I agree. The first thing I did after I bought my ZR1 was to track down all of the original parts for it (wheels, exhaust, engine cowl). That way whoever buys it from me (if I ever decided to sell it, which right now isn't even on my radar) will have the option of keeping it modified or returning it to stock. Whatever cash the CCBs bring he'd lose it again. These brakes aren't cheap.
thanks all! i don't really have any intention of selling either c6 so that doesn't bother me too much...
the iron conversion with hawk dtc70/60 actually have a significantly greater stopping effect in my opinion.... but i also bled out some of the nastiest smelling brake fluid ever... was damn near black!
and im sure the ss brake lines helped with that too
i know its gonna sound odd, but so far i greatly prefer the iron kit... don't really care about brake dust so thats not a problem...
will be switching over to hawk hps this weekend for daily driving...
i've gotta chop up my video from the track day at PBIR, will get that up sometime this week...
i'm not used to these r888's they felt fine for a lap or two, then would get really greasy feeling... i got the psi down to 31, and that did seem to help as well, but i dont know the back story on the tires so they could just need to be replaced...
on another note... how does the edelbrock HX connect up to the lid? it didn't look like the 3/4 barb fittings were "stock connectors"... i figure if i'm going to be draining the system, i might as well add the HX and thinking about the expansion tank too...
The alternator I shipped on Sept 29 and DC Power received on October 2nd arrived yesterday. Just shy of 3 months. There was nothing modified on the housing to accommodate taller heads or valve covers. They didn't send me back the spacers either but did include new bolts. However, the bolts are stock length. I went and bought 1/2" and 3/4" spacers. I used 1/2" before but the clearance was something like .012".
With a 1/2" spacer, the belt size is 6PK1650 or K060650 (effective length 65").
With a 3/4" spacer, the K060650 belt is just a little short and might go on using WD40 but that is with the tensioner all the way as loose as it goes. I found a 6PK1675 belt has an effective length of 66.13" or a K060660 (66.19"). The next size up is a K060663 with an effective length of 66.33". I ordered both to see which works best with the 3/4" spacer.
