While remotely possible, it is pretty unlikely. The last part we have to machine is probably the most complex part in the unit. It will require machining from 3 different mounting positions, 2 of them requiring custom machined fixtures.
After the machining is all done, we get the parts anodized. The anodizer usually has the parts for 3-5 days. Anodizing is not required.. but we do it as a way of stamping the parts as "complete" and ready for use... and because it is just more professional looking to us. I would personally recommend waiting out the anodizing. Its also nice because it removes conductivity from anodized surfaces, which can be nice for parts with wiring inside the gas tank. We will see how the last part comes together and how quickly and go from there. Everything else for this has been taking longer than expected and I trust that the theme may continue. |

Well I am off to the Track again. I get to have fun with my fuel starving. There is a Real long right hand turn this weekend in the 2.75 mile NOLA track. Boy it's going to SUCK..

There are 3 left in the first production run that are unspoken for. However I should probably expect at least one person to bail at last second as that is pretty common with this type of stuff.

Just after my last post I started the long write up on all the details, but halfway through I got pulled into a meeting that took until long after hours. I'll try and see if I can finish it up tomorrow.

Trust me... If it was all in my control, this would have entered production a long, long time ago. You have no idea how hard I have to push for so long to get new things to finally exist. Some day, I hope to speed up that process.

So production/testing for the forced induction model starts when this batch is complete?

Testing will begin yes. I will be using my own car for that. It's more of a configuration/setup change. Nothing different has to be manufactured for it, it just changes to how we configure it before installing it to the gas tank.
