So after sitting here over the last two days reading 48 pages there seems to be more concern about the hood than anything else. People have to understand that when innovation comes around, things change. Compromises have to be made in order to ensure success of the product. Not meaning compromise of the product itself but of the initially designed product (the car) that wasn't built to take every single thing into account.

Also some people have to understand that not everyone here follows the popular kids on this forum. I've been part of this forum since 2010 and I still know only a handful of the big players here. If you're not directly linked to the vendor who is designing said product and someone questions who you are and asks to provide proof of expertise in the field, it would be wise to do so (something in the "about me" section of your profile) as it turns out said expert is helping in design and sales pitching. Reacting the way he did just potentially killed a $10,000+ sale, maybe more as other people could see it and think negatively on his association as well.

From what little I can see (thanks photo bucket) it sounds to be a promising endeavor by this company. Scrolling through what I can see in face book (no account), I'm not seeing much there either. I think an update on the project (lots of pictures) will solidify the reality of this project, put them on the first post of this thread as well to increase interest for people who are just now reading about it and can get a better picture in their head as they're reading through this book.

Lastly, some years ago I inquired about a positive displacement SC possibility for the 370Z on this forum and I was met with nearly 100% opposition that it would be impossible due to the VVEL system. Which made no sense to me at all because there are plenty of other PDSC vehicles with variable timing that are out on the road. Where is this opposition now? I don't recall one single post on this thread saying anything remotely close to what I received.
