I can concur that Sam is no longer the controlling principle and new investors will be rebuilding the company and the brand. Also one of the prime initiatives of that is to repair the bad
PR thats been done. Which means they will be working out of a hole with the new management. Most people mistake me for a "fanboy" but I will say this... Over the last several years I have spent working and building a relationship with Sam... The conversations I have with him are on a much different level than most of you even get to discuss with him. I have known what has gone on behind the scenes of the business and I have shared with the public what I could. There are several people on this board and you know who you are that I went to bat for you and for some we were able to get good progress.
Now we all know that many have beef with Sam specifically and rightfully so. With that said lets keep it clean and I look forward to the new V3 manifold being ready as I am on the list for a set along with full size GTX3582R's
Lets just say when those get here no one is going to be safe!!!! I would expect an easy 1000rwhp on pump gas...
I have seen the new V3 manifolds in person and held them in my hands... They are a work of ART! It is cast out of a different material, the flow on them is dramatically better and they will fit a wider range of turbo options. Once they are released and in stock I would recommend those with manifold issues to upgrade to the new units.
And if Sam is reading this I would recommend that he make it worth while for those with issues on the current versions to have a discounted upgrade to the new manifold conversion kit...
What most will need to upgrade would be new:
New Manifolds and gaskets
Downpipes
Dump tubes (if external wastegate)
Turbo Intake Piping
