Sorry to say adam its not ready yet. I don't know if I'm still in love with this thing..seems to be taking a long time..

Joe Prince has worked on this for 4 years and is a perfectionist.

Jay Fisher was the gentlemen whose company was marketing it..

They have stated that it was going to make everyones christmas a little merrier but not a peep yet..

If I see something..I'll definitely post it up for you guys..

www.ls1.com the engine section..I frequently check but even my interest has waned a bit as of late.

Sorry for getting it all pumped up (pun intended) and then not have the piece come to the ls1 marketplace.

Supposedly there are 350 orders in hand.

No. You did not miss it. It is still coming. JB, has information that would put it here sometime before the end of this year.

I do not personally know JB, nor do I personally know the people designing the system, but I would say that sometimes things get delays for very, very good reasons. Especially, if you are the type of design team that cares more about getting it right than just getting it to market.

Example: I have two other items that I would like to bring to market. They each provide about 7 rwhp to the table. But, they cannot be executed the way "I" think they should, so they remain only bolted on to my C5. I could have come to market a long time ago, but not with a clear conscience. Until I find a way to do it right, I will not do it at all.

Technically, I like the RFWP Theory. The fact that it has been said that there is a working prototype means that the theory has legs.

Anybody can just come to market. Bringing "quality" to market is not easy.
