Your car is being built for the anticipation of a twincharge setup. My car and the majority of ppl will never do this. I am interested in a header. IF JBP is working on your rather unique setup, I don't think it appeals to the masses.

So let me try this again. The work they are doing on my ENGINE benifits others who will have work done on their engines. How many shops do you guys know who have removed every nut and bolt on the LSJ? That many uh? JBP is looking at how each component works and whether or not there can be some custom tweaking for the people who want to spend the money getting as much out of their engines as possible. What they learn on my engine allows future projects to be done quicker because the learning curve has been completed.
I would have loved my engine to have been done long ago, and not the 12-14 weeks I will have had to go without an engine. That header you guys want was designed at the expense of my time without a car. The header was designed off my engine on JBP's stand for perfect a fit unlike some of the headers that were designed off a engine still bolted in the car, resulting in fitiment issues.
Then comes the bottom line, most people won't buy any header for a long time. They just want something to write\read during their daily forum fix. Those of us who bought TOG headers waited a lot longer (than anyone waiting since JBPsaid they would make a header) and back then there was no other choice. When the TOG's were shipped no one knew if they would get a good one or a bad one. If you guys really want a header go buy one, you have lots of choices. I want my engine back and right now I don't give a damn how pissed off you get that my engine gets worked on. I have paid for my work, have you paid for your header?
And before you say you have no results on the header to base your decisions on, I have only JBP's reputation to go one for my engine because no one else was nice enough to go before me, so all the bugs in a build like this, could be worked out.

I don't plan on doing anything like that anyways though. I want to make my car 320whp on just the supercharger and then just call it quits and get the SKY RL and build that.

We don't want all that **** from them...just the header.

As for what I am spending on my project I don't care what you think. I am the one handing over the cash and you wouldn't even be close if you guessed how much I am pouring into this project, overall.
As for other sponsorships listed they are contingent on magazine coverage and I will be reimbursed only after the magazine prints.
What "I" like about JBP is they are committed to this project and to meeting deadlines while still servicing their other customers. Ask the guys in the GTA whether or not they still get service.
I bet when JBP does release the header "you" don't buy one.

well if you guys want an update here it is, I was there yesterday.
he has completed the first header, but before he slaps it on his car and gets the dyno numbers, he wants to build one more (2.5-3 days at least) reason for that is so he always has a sample header to compare to to insure that every header he builds will be the same.

well Rod
since he's waiting to get those sleeves made up, he's been using your block as a coffee cup holder.
the diameter were those pistons sit are actually the perfecr size for an XL timmies cup.
sorry man no real update, you know all the reasons better then I do.
but I hope that was teaser enough for you
