damn you get offended easily. not good for someone wanting to spend time on the internet.

relax bro relax your heart is gonna burst!

but your entire arguement isnt invalid. but nor is it really valid.

Carb approval is a process that is quite involved. GTM does have alot of projects going so sure they could drop everything and get carb approval or perhaps also just divide their time with everything and have every project going. I think they are doing pretty good so far.

Are they screwing over thousands of potential customers, no. Do you feel like you are being screwed... yes. Can you just up and go buy another carb approved FI system? no. Does that mean they can laugh at you in your agony.. no.

basically its not right to come out and beat up on GTM because of this. They are in the end a business and need to take care of business first. If carb approval S/C's got them alot of business im sure they would have spent alot of time on it. But if they let their entire business tank to work on this, in the end as soon as they get CARB approval, they would have to file bankruptcy and then whats the point?

We as customers need to always be patient. I dont want any company to rush their products or development etc. When you see that, you see crappy products or products that are only partial to what they could have been.

Also, ever try picking up the phone, calling GTM and asking them whats up? i mean ya know, I understand that theres the forums, facebook, twitter, etc etc etc but calling people is still the most effective communication tool (other than meeting face to face)

You aren't a business person are you? I know exactly what Sam is doing and that is putting his energy where he feels the most profit is. This is smart business. This is EXACTLY the place people need to speak up so Sam knows that maybe the market for CARB legal kit is bigger than he thought and just maybe he'll prioritize some time to serving that market.

In the software world we call this FUD. 1 year ago the Stillen kit was a strong potential competitor and they were advertising that they would get CARB certified. Sam didn't want to give Stillen that competitive advantage in the largest market for sales and said they too would get certified. Sam even posted later that GTM would have their certification first. Well the Stillen kit turned out to be a weak competitor and it appears to me that CARB certification at GTM is on the back burner.

The Carb cert is more important for us then ever, Not because of California sales, it plays much bigger roll for us then that. Can't say much right now but you will see very soon.

The process is very slow i agree, we have it on auto pilot and pretty much letting it take its own course.

All i can say it is going to happen.

So if I get the GTM SC now and then you get CARB certified later would my kit qualify under the CARB?
