If they were not going to have them ready when the said they were going to, then they should not have started this GB until they were ready. I knew that this crap would happen when they started accepting payment and then said that they did not have any manifolds yet. They are not outsourcing this to DreamWerks are they? (j/k)
My guess is that we won't see one of these until late June. I hope I am wrong though.

I have been part of several group buys and they (not referring to Kinetix) always are very slow in delivering products. GBs always take longer for some reason. I guess its just the price we must pay for a discount on a great looking product!

Again, I apologize...It was early in the AM when I posted that and I am still a little cranky then.

So all we have to go on is a dyno just recently done compared to a "baseline" that was done months ago? As far as I'm concerned, there are still no useful results, comparing those two runs and coming to any conculsions is ridiculous.

How was his information not useful? There are many people here that don't understand that the time lapse matters in the dyno.
I am not buying one, but only since I already have a V4 from last GB and don't feel the need for a cosmetic upgrade. I do believe this will make ok power, but not $700 power.

I appreciate the fact that Kinetix has provided us with what they do have, I'm just saying that it's still not enough information to go on is all.
I mean seriously, many people will even have issue with removing the car from the dyno in between runs on the SAME DAY, and we are talking a matter of MONTHS in this case. It's just totally inconclusive to me, but opinions vary I guess.

Yeah, I have to agree with duck on this one. While the current numbers aren't perfect, they are the best you will see for now. More accurate numbers will come later, course the price will be higher too. Would be nice to have those numbers now, but oh well, thus is life. That is why each individual has his own money and can decide for theirself if they want to use it to buy this or any product.
Can't wait to see a dyno with back to back comparisons though.
