I ordered a DSS 306 about 2 weeks ago. I ended up getting it 4 days after I ordered it. What 306 are you getting? Mine should be in the car the end of next week if everything goes right.

Did you get the low compression 306 or the one with the flat top pistons?

Usually if they have them in stock youll get one right away. I know they keep 331's in stock but I dunno ABOUT THE 306's. Me they had a pro bullet 331 ready for me when I got there but I had to wait a month on back ordered afr 185's so that was annoying. But there pretty quick about it, as soon as they got the heads, they got the cam, heads, valvetrain and timing chain installed by the next day and it was ready for pickup. Oh and for those of you who have never been to there shop its new and very nice and as clean as a hospital and even then they have special dust free rooms where they assemble the blocks and stuff. It kinda makes you feel good about spending all that money, cuz you know theres quality behind it.

Yup. After I finish rebuilding motor this weekend I'm gonna have to drive easy for 500 miles too. Thats gonna be so hard. But my dad just moved and he lives like 30-35 minutes away now so I'll just go to his new house as often as possible so I can knock that 500 out quick.
