If I read his quote right, they came together as a company to make this decision

More like, these things are already way too expensive, so we can't spend any more on them.

Seems to me like they threw a price out there and then couldn't make the numbers work if they added in the labor to finish it to the level you would expect from a part that costs this much, so they said "screw it" and shipped it out anyway.

And we all know there's only one reason why they wouldn't post the testing results. If it made gobs of power they'd be shouting it from the rooftops. No one gets to the "shipping completed product" stage without testing. Prove me wrong with a dyno sheet.

Pretty much what Michael@AAM said.

Be fair now, they haven't tested it yet...the paying customers just received what would've been the prototypes.

Remember when he said this?

How bad did the first look if the picture above is the second try at a passable finish?

you guys have had 8 months to WOW us with this! instead it just fizzled away.. i probably would have been a buyer 7 months ago if you had Numbers..but instead its just delay delay delay with 0 testing.i think ill keep my Plastic manifold and wait for theses to go on a Liquidation sale for a 1/4 of the cost.

Lol yea, but Mr. Marketing relit the fire, spinning a cost saving measure into a benefit for the buyers.

Of course that will get called out.

Over-promised and under-delivered.

So.. Did the first customer just take and run? Hiding his massive # gains?
