Default Whos interested in an ESK ?

So after a few emails and such I found out that a company TurboEast has an electronic shift kit for automatic tC's. They dont sell it but are willing to make batches of them, They said a batch of 10-20 would cost about $179 per person.

I think an ESK is a much better solution for those of us who want a faster auto tranny but dont need a valve body that handles 300hp or costs $500+ dollars.


So who is interested in something like this ?

**To clarify an Electronic Shift Kits speeds up the shifting for automatic trannies**

Probably nothing, but im not sure I will have to ask

*Note*
-Electronic Shift Kit can have an on/off switch wired to it.
-Install only involves messing with 6 wires

Yay, by the way Im waiting for TurboEast to get back to me on the valve body + ESK question. But I read another thread dealing with the IS300 and how the ESK does help improve shifting even more when with a modded valve body

well let's hope so, If that indeed is the case I will be in on this for sure. The whole fact that it may have an On/Off switch really attracts me to it.

thanks again and keep me posted.

I found this company through an old thread on the same topic (if you search you can find it) ScionDad was there prototype tester. I wish he was online more so I could ask him about it and his opinions.
