This is like the recall notice. We all knew about it beforehand, and people are freaking out left and right. Wanting to know what's taking so long, why can't they get the new flash right this very moment.

I'm starting to think we'd be better off if our first word about the recall came from the official letters.

Read all the posts and you will be informed.

That is not punishment for complaining like this is some recall thread

it will help you appreciate the research and development that these engineers have to do.

Remember that he designed this from scratch. He couldn't just go out to a store somewhere and pick out the supercharger trim that he wanted to and then just assemble it like a small puzzle. This may work with turbos but not with an axial flow. He had to design the whole thing from nothing. That takes time to get right. Then combine this with normal development issues/problems/surprises and you've got 2 years and 250 pages worth of thread. Of course if this thread never went off topic, it would only be 7 pages long!

I think its hilarious that people complain about all the fodder and then add to it with their own snide complaints.

I'll bet there's a good 100 pages of people complaining and asking the same question:

HP?, Release? I dont want to search because the thread is too long.

Just like SUV owners complaining about gas prices even though the very act of them having an SUV is what made the gas prices high in the first place

Didn't vote...neither option suits me.

Read it from day one. Had my first internet fight in there. Got inspiration from that thread to start the 500 post thread encouraging Richard's short shifter project. Named my son after Richard. Started a career in jets when the thread ran off-topic and talked about military fighters. Was reading that thread when Al-Zarqawi was killed. Put on 5lbs reading it. Had arguments with my wife over it. Solved complex algebraic equations using it.

Did you know that by taking every second word out of post 2655, you make the phrase "Richard is eating supercharged jets for lost Torque"???


Your a funny guy Gomez, is there an easy way to go to a certain page, NO. Did I fall for it? YES.

Intriguing...hopefully eating supercharged jets at least keeps plenty of iron in your diet!

Joking aside, you can bet your exhaust I'm gonna keep my eyes on this SC...this could well be the first major HP mod I get...

If it’s going to be introduced at this year’s seven stock I think we can wait another two months, and if the quality is as good as his short shifter, which I just installed yesterday , then we will get an excellent product. I just wish the install could be as easy as the shifter.

Fortunately for you, due to Memorial um I mean Labor Day, this weekend is 72 hours long, so you'll be able to get all caught up and still get in a good nap before starting work next Tuesday.

good to hear.

I would say go for it though. Richard may have a working solution but options are always good. Send him a PM to see if he's interested.

Don't get me wrong. I love the fact it's May already : and the extra 72 hour weekend, but .... I'm a little worried about the missing 8 months I've missed :smile:

Cobb tuning was bought up a few post ago. Some of you may want to rethink that. From what I know of Cobb, he is a pretty consevative tuner. Sounds reasonable for someone putting a new toy out on the market. But from what I know about Cobb, you have to use his maps and can not tune one your own. To get a custom tune you have to go to a Protune authorized dealer/dyno which is major buckage and they are found very few and far between.

Not accurate, Cobbs sells a upgraded (more expensive version) that includes software to modify their maps.
