GTM STG 2 SC, when will it be available?

I'm going to GTM on Thursday, I will see what I can find out. I'm also slated to get the stage 2. My car has been there since October.

I knew going into it that it would be a while. They are using my car as a test car.

Fist of all let me say that I have the utmost respect for Sam and the entire GTM team.

I noticed people in the SC thread stating that if one wants a GTM product then they wait for it to be ready, or it's ready when Sam says it's ready etc.

However, unless I'm mistaken, I believe that Sam did state that the SC Stage II kit would be released or announced at the end of March. Granted he's busy and that's great. But un update on the issue I feel is warranted.

No harm intended.

I agree with the above, but being around Nissan's and GTM for a long time, I know that:
A. GTM is not great with updates until things are done (I don't really blame them as it just gets everyone even more worked up). Once done, they usually provide very thorough information.
B. They are always a behind on projects like this. Again, I understand this as it is due to customer cars that pay the bills, and development and part delays that happen with any project like this.

This is a valid question and no offense taken. To summarize what the delay in this process is, we are trying to give the best product and design possible for the stage 2 setup. We received the supercharger 2 months ago and we could have produced a stage 2 kit within 2 weeks if we would have reused the majority of the stage 1 components like the intake and piping. Instead, we wanted to give the stage 2 the best intake design possible which has resulted in a lot more time required to do that. I think our ambition to offer a superior product overrides our desire to release a product onto the market that could be better. Because of that, we run into these delays but it will be worth it in the end.
