Im not really complaining because thats still cheap but Im just wondering... because I dont know if he added tax to that price, but if he didnt it will come out to like around $330... thanks again for your help
There is no tax on out of state sales[yet anyway] so he won't add sales tax.
Jason is in Florida[ and I assume you are in Texas..]

Got a basically brand new one here. Had it on my car about 300 miles or so before the motor took a crap. Switching to vented to run double roller. $200 + shipping to anyone that wants it, I was about to put it on ebay but thought Id give you guys a chance first.

No, it wont help performance. It is just supposed to make it last longer

They have complete opti's at the autozone next to you? Last time I called they only carried a piece like the rotor or something, but not the opti as a whole. Anyways, Jason Cromer wrote me this,

Hello, The 94 Opti is a non vented one and it was always $280.00 til this month, There was a increase on them by Ac-Delco and my delco supplier raised my cost to where I can not sell them for $280.00 anymore, The new price as of Oct is $299.00 plus $8.00 UPS shipping
So I guess thats as cheap as Im gonna get it.

Right. You are not going to find anyone that will sell you a brand new GM unit any cheaper.
