Thumbs up PFITZER Performance Gearboxes (PPG) Group Buy Opportunity!!!

Watch this if unfamiliar with PPG:

This thread is aimed toward owners with C56 or C60 transmissions that have big power applications with a need for stronger gears.
I contacted them asking them to produce a gearbox for my 7th Generation Celica (1ZZFE/C56). Their initial response was
"We have in the past made a GT4 Celica set, but would most likely have to manufacture some custom componentry for later model Celica’s. For a customized gearset we usually charge between $7000 - $11000, and at the current time have a wait list of 4-6 months, if someone were to place an order of this type we would look at doing a set for them and then listing these gearsets for general sale. Do you know someone that would commit to this?"
Later replying:
"The initial research, development and manufacture would place the price at $7k - $10k, often after this initial set is completed we can set the price lower. But unfortunately the cost would still not be below $5k. The only way I can see that the price can get below $5k is a group buy of 15-20 sets at one time.."
If there are any other members interested in this let me know so I can give them a count and see what kind of estimate we can get. I have this thread also posted on newcelica.org and will be on spyderchat.com. I will wait to give them the count until after they get back from the SEMA SHOW in Las Vegas from the 31/10/09 - 11/11/09. By giving me a count does not obligate you in any way to this purchase. It gives me a ball park number I can relay back to PPG for an estimate group buy amount$.

Short ratios?
Teeth design?
Dog or sychros?

I thought the ratios in our box were different from the Celica box?
