I have updates. Pm me if you want them and if I like you I will give you the info.
The 2 people above my last post who asked for updates but were too lazy to get them themselves can pretty much not bother asking. :p

Nah... not really lazy.. just scared.. there is a difference. I know if everyone and their mother were calling me for a status update and the project was not on schedule or having difficulties that I would be less than enthusiastic about giving such an update. Thats why I dont like calling.. Scared yes 
lazy no..
lazy no..

Someone 
called Pettit this morning. This is what that person was told: They are finishing tooling. The web site will be updated soon, no release date yet. There will be one kit, puts down 250 to the wheels and approximate cost of $3800.
Don't ask me any questions - I know nothin' :D

No reason to be skeptical - I'd guess a SC mounting would be less expensive to produce - once the jig is made, etc, than all the piping required for turbo applications.

Well, they need to make it more in range with the greddy kit.. and it costs less to install, etc.. so it balances out somewhat. That may be why the delay in release, to reduce costs?

I know that I should have tried to sneak into CA. Speedway the day that they were testing the car. That would have been something to watch for sure! What really gets me though is that some people actually got the opportunity to ride in the car at Seven Stock. I was there too!!!!!
Man.. I miss everything

I was last weekend at the NHRA compact series race at Moroso Motorpark in Palm Beach Florida and there was a black RX8 with have some adds in the windshield. The add read like this " RX8 Compressor Coming soon For more info check out Petit Racing.com" The add showed a photo of what it seems is going to be the compressor but it is not a good photo.

I think that the thing that people are missing with the Petit kit is that they want it to be reliable and safe. Anyone can kick out a turbo or S/C kit that just bolts on and runs until the engine is toast. They wanted to crack the tuning and get the car to make safe reliable HP and I respect them for that.
