It took over a month for me to get my transmission delivered from them for my FR-S.

That is what I was expecting. Not in a huge rush, being a custom built part at this point and being around the holidays I can wait a little longer.

Yeah it's a project I don't really care when I get the parts as long as they arrive. People who don't have patience need not apply just yet.

Looks like Vorshlag has a new website coming. I am going to jump out on a limb and say they are going to wait till the website release/after the website is live to start selling the swap parts. They have a few products they currently sell that haven't been added to the old website, so it makes sense to me.

Get a tune and header. You won't feel that way anymore, especially if you use e85.

I am dying. The joke around the house is that we have one of the highest horsepower living rooms in the area. Can't wait to get the rest of the stuff ordered and get the show on the road.

Completely agree. Header/tune/E85 (good quality drop in filter as well) is a must have for the twins
