    GTC Jackshaft kit

    After some research i've seen it more than once, I'm not knocking the Cast plate or trying to start a debate. I was just telling him that GTC is not the right place to buy any of those items.... Stick with Comet There products are reliable and you should not have any problems with them.

    GTC Jackshaft kit

    When you refer to Cast one's breaking i believe you are talking about the Tav30 Setup Which is totally Different. I would Stay Away From GTC They are way overpriced and pretty sure there not up to par with the stuff they claim to replace.... just my thoughts and a few others I'm sure.
