They didn't tell me that. Sounds like it is made in the USA.

We, like most US manufactures, are facing serious shortages in raw materials and staffing. This has caused some of our production dates to be changed or pushed back and our team is working diligently to get caught up. We currently do not have assigned production date. Our priority is always to make the items most needed based on age of orders and demand. I will work with production team to get a more definitive date for your order to ship.

Those raw materials probably come from China though.

In the long run, this could be a blessing in disguise if it results in more shifting manufacturing etc both back home as well as other countries like India. Never a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket.

Me too, I run the ProGuard Media 7 on my truck.

I am going to give it until Friday to find a quality 3in. Filter so I can do the 3in intake pipes to turbo. If I can't find them, I will be going back with the 2.5in FI ones. This is something I will need to do at a later date.
I don't want to wait any longer. LOL..... I need my fix.

Sitting on the porch again while everyone is going to do 1/2 mile racing at Shift Sector in Indiana. This sucks....... Wish I could have made it up. Oh well, next time.

Downtime while waiting always sucks.

Yup, I know I have more fine tuning to do to be able to get every ounce out of my car. I need testing time to get it dialed in. Rear wheels and tires, diff change if it is needed, rear subframe mods, CJ Motorsports new twin pump surge tank setup, Brake upgrade, 6 point roll bar, race seat upgrade and harness, helmet and Hans device for my freaking neck, and finally what the heck I am going to do with the trans. Do I really want to push it this far? I am not sure yet. Just going to figure it out as I go. One thing at a time.

I already have one. 1975 Datsun 280z turbo. There is only so much extra money to go around.

Spooler · 08-13-2021, 09:59 AM

I am ready to turn the monster loose to see what else I need to work on. Missing all these events just delays the fine tuning of the suspension, etc. I know I will need a tire to get better traction. I want to see what happens first.

Spooler, not sure if you're looking for something specific but you can pickup both AEM and K&N 3" ID filters on Amazon.
