Not a rumor, really.
Cam can no longer source the unit he uses in his kit and Lysholm is not making it easy on him.

Last Pieter told me, Cam still has two kits in stock, whatever that might actually entail.

not necessarily Ive been talking to Cam, it will just be a delay, I believe there is only one left,,, Time will tell though, the manufacturer wants Cam to buy 50 at a time, so if we were to start a 'serious' list of people that would be willing to wait alittle and be patient knowing that as the list grew it would convince Cam to make the investment who knows there could be a couple dozen more rolling around,,,

You are getting there!
That is about the equivalent of 315 - 320 g/sec on a turbo car. Just sayin'.

I saw 433 g/sec on the way back from Scottsdale this afternoon.

It would have to be a pretty amazing "group buy" since there aren't even that may Pettit systems out there now.

Well, come down to Firebird East tomorrow or Sunday.
If I don't blow it up, you might see some numberz.

Actually, Sunday might be better because Pieter and I will be running our "24 Hours of Lemons" car (the Ford **** Probe) for a shake-down.

yeah I know, but there are about 40 kits out there last time I talked to Cam(last week) just not too many that care to come on the forums,,,

Yeah, cant blame emm, I doubt the group buy list, if ever started at all, would ever get into double digits in a timely manner,,,

Well first would definately be an ignition, second( I myself was once interested but no longer) cogged pulley?(only cuz I know you were researching that yourself,) but I know Cam has no interst in it at all as well,, Third should definatly be Pettits secondary Rad setup(man does that thing work, constantly see a 12-15 degree lower water temp), fourth ? maybe a CAI intergrated intake desgin???

Im doin a CAI design this winter, the one off Whoneedspistons car, very simular to the one you did for Phil but with a larger and smoother bend than Phils 90 coupling,,,

After thinking about it for a long time I have come to not enjoy the thought of a cogged pulley, there is a local Z owner around here who has a SC on his 350 and his cogged belt has snapped three times in the past two yrs due to ware of the belt from the teeth, try it on Phils car for a long time and you may convince me otherwise,,,

i can only say, im living 9000 miles away from jeff and ray and yet, im entrusting my entire turbo project to them.

Their expertise and experiences with the renesis is without doubt. Best in the business. Considering the japs are not even willing or confident enough to push the car to 300-400 whp.

Ray has requested for a 1wk time frame to come up with the comprehensive list and im antiticpating in gee.

Sorry to disappoint you but the Irons are already ported. The video will be about the rebuilding of the engine itself.

I will edit out the drinking parts. I will record them though.
