Question SLP order

Ok, I ordered a lid from SLP a couple week ago. Well, I got a package from SLP today and it was fairly heavy. I knew it wasn't a lid before I even opened it. The invoice said it was but it was actually a ring and pinion set. I'm not sure what ratio though. The ring gear is stamped GM 10:41. Now I'm not a neurosurgeon or a rocket scientist, but I'd say they're 4.10s. Am I correct? SLP wants $199.99 for these and I got charged $99 for a lid. Should I keep the gears and order another lid, or send them back? I know what the "honest" thing to do would be to call customer service and send them back. What do you think?

I dont know.. I think I would be annoyed with them anyways.. but I have issues with SLP since I read on their forums about their lids.

Thats just me tho.. I have bought SLP stuff and I think their LT1 CAI is the best on for the LT1.. but for the LS1, no way..

I would suggest that you look at a few of them installed on local cars before getting one.


I would have those on EBAY right away.. use the $ to buy a different lid.. and help pay for the filter.
