hes right it would be a hell of a lot cheaper for you to just build one yourself. even have a shop weld up the downpipe its still gonna be alot cheaper

Hey guys just an update, JE is holding the ball right now, they said 2-3 weeks 9 weeks ago.

I am not doubting anyones abilities, but some of the problems we overcame with this kit were pretty difficult even for a 30 year verteran.

The tune alone has several 5-6 full days on the dyno, not something the average guy could possibly pay for, and it i was done on our Dime.

Careful R&D is the key, I have the first batch of production Charge pipes in hand, waiting on the motor so we can finish the stage 2 kit.

Then we will Release the Stage 1 kit.

my thoughts exactly....ill pay more for good reliability. fast, reliable, or cheap. you cant have all three, so pick the two that matter the most....

Sounds like when Wiseco made my 8.0:1 pistons. Apparently some of those companies operate on a different calander.

Any news on the pistons, Ted?

If not, we should head over and "persuade" them.

Yep everything is here and just have to fit it into my schedule.

Couldn't get it back during the winter when we had plenty of time to tear into it, That is Life!

I will let you know when we get it back together.

Everything is finally here, and we are going to assemble it this week but it is a short week for us because of our Track Rental this Friday 23rd.

It would have never taken this long if I didn't have to rely on other people for the Machine work.

Next time I will choose someone else for sure.

We demand an update.

I know you guys were working on it the day I picked up my car, so there's no excuse for not telling us.

In the past couple months, why couldn't you AT LEAST take pics of your kit? It'd be nice to see the manifold, turbo, intercooler, charge pipes...

Its obviously not on your priority list, thats a damn shame.

I am sorry you feel that way but I assure you it is a priority, we had some issues with a certain vendor we will not speak of and I rather not go in to details.

I assure you as this car is reassembled we will take pictures and post them as long as I don't get kicked out LOL
