Just saw this on the TL-Forum from Syncivic:



The casting process has been a challenge:

1. Precision fit issues
2. Porosity effects on durability (backfire containment)
3. Excess casting thickness which reduced demonstrated
prototypical power gains.

What does this mean?

These headaches, along with my 60+Hour a week job have slowed the release (READ- Not stopped!) of the final version. It is important that the part is cast vs. a billet piece like the prototype because of cost considerations. If I said the part were a $100 more, most would groan and I don't blame you. My error is being overly optimistic and a bit naive about casting issues. I've made great personal investment in this part going to market and it will shortly. As for my hectic schedule, I've brought on an outsider to help me expedite its release in doing the leg work. The final product will be released that meets the performance predictions and is worthy of being on your cars.

As for MMII, it is running aroung under the hood of my MDX for street testing. It is a modification which could affect drivability if not calibrated properly but so far, so good. Its power band for the buck is 3X that of the RES although I haven't worked them together yet to see if the gains are additive.

BTW - Tim has been diligent in hounding me about these releases, it is not his fault in any way. He knew as much as most of you.

Thanks for the patience

Not a problem I think this is the second or third dup post.
