Stroker Kits

Race-Mart update (suggest people stay away)

Me: Your stroker kit # SCT-1-48013-1 states that it comes with H-Beam rods in more that one place on that page. Just want to make sure that it does come with H-Beam rods. If it does, I would like to order this kit. What would the shipping cost to Las Vegas ?

Them: Hi Craig,
Yes, it does.
When you add it to the cart the site will calculate it for you. Be sure to register first.
Thanks,

Me: Are the kits in stock?

Them: Craig: Thanks for your inquiry.
Scat has everything to assemble your rotating assembly, except the pistons. They are building those right now. They can get your rotating assembly done by this Friday, or next Monday, and ship it to you.
If this time frame is O.K. with you, please order it and we will get the ball rolling.
Thanks again for using Race-Mart

I then send an email to Scat to verify and this is what Scat tells me:

The kit consist of Forged crank, Forged I-beam rods, and Forged pistons. It takes about 1 week to get the pistons, and they are ordered once the kit is ordered. The shipping would be about 80-90 dollars for the kit, but they might offer a lower rate.

Thank you,


So I send this message to Race-Mart:
I contacted Scat and they told me that the kit you have listed comes with I-Beam rods and not H-Beam rods. I would hate to order it and have it show up with I-Beam rods. They also said that they don't order pistons until someone orders a kit.

Their reply:Craig: Thank you for your inquiry.
Yes, that rotating assembly NOW has I beam rods in it, not H beams.
We went around with Scat, they changed the connecting rods and Never told us, or anyone.
So, that assembly with H beam rods is $125.00 more for the H beams, subtracting the I beams.
Please call, or send us the credit card information (we never keep CC#'s on file) and we will get Scat to up grade your order , using H beam rods.
Thanks again for using Race-Mart.

Soooo if I didn't do my part and check, I would have been stuck with I-Beam rods and they wouldn't have made it right even though they said it would come with H-Beams. If you read their terms, they aren't responsible for anything since it ships from the manufacturer and the manufacturer made the change to the kit.
And to use Race-Mart you have to register and agree to their terms. I read it and I'm definately not agreeing to it. So I guess Race-Mart is out as far as I'm concerned.
