Cameron said that they were going to move the intercooler up front and change to an air cooled design. The one on the car was water cooled. So, all that plumbing will get moved around again. He said that the production unit would leave the battery in it's original OEM placement also. He wanted to make the kit easy to install for all of us.

I was there when they started it up and let it idle, it was OK - and did not sound rough. Then they started revving it up and down... I wish I had my video camera running at the time, but I put it back in my trunk

I figured that there would be some big changes for the production kit. Did you look to see how bad the aluminum upper manifold was? It's another thing that I'm sure will get worked out though.

He only popped the cover briefly, and I did not get a good look. He also told everyone to put their cameras down when he did this, so everybody hovered closer and I was in the back.
