Hi guys, just given you guys an update on this.

My car is at the dealer having all the parts of the brake system replaced and it should take a week or so to get it back, after that if is not snowing I should try to get some dynos for you guys and hopefully some extra sound clips.

The initial excitement might dwindle but people will still be interested. I don't mind delays because it just lets me work on other projects that I need to finish. Patience people!

See, we are working in a website, it's under construction. If I was counting on selling only on Zpost maybe I would be concerned about loss of interest on the project, but our goals are bigger then this, a GB is to help people here and not to fill my pockets, the GB prices is almost cost price, on the website it would/will be only retail prices what is based on our cost/quality/competition.

Crfine is responsible for that thread and I have no say so on it. so far he has provided us with necessary feedback and we are glad to have him as a critic.

I have to deal with weather and this is causing delays on my ability to do the dynos, we have got the dynos for base (OEM) but not the final one. we are striving to get dynos by the end of next week if weather allows.

I want you guys to comprehend that I will only cut this loose once I have all the loose ends tied up, no much to go just minor adjusts and decisions.

Guys I really hope you guys had nice holidays and let you guys know that my absence was only related to family affairs.

A society that has become too accustom to fast food and home delivery......is honestly an annoyance.

Anyone who would be a buyer of this system will be an enthusiast with some discipline and respect.

Good things come to those that wait. Those that can't wait shop at Wal-mart or Autozone.

Thats not always the case. Sometimes you need to be more than industrious and speed up productivity while maintaining efficiency and quality. Some of us here are willing to take that hit in the pocket if it correlates to the aforementioned standards and if we can get before the guy next to us...

Hey! Matt messaged me when you were at the shop. Sorry I couldn't make it out.

Who is doing the tune for you?
Where are you getting your dynos done?

I might be heading out to the dyno next week to measure my new headers.

Hopefully all is well!

After you get the tune, do you think you can keep the headers + tune and take the exhaust back to stock?

Without comparisons where the only variable is the exhaust we really can't know how much HP/TQ your system is responsible for.
