Right now... once I start running through the list of people who signed up... if nobody drops out at payment time then I am not sure if there will be any left in this batch. As for a next batch, we would be looking at a little bit... 4 weeks minimum, 8 weeks max i believe. Everyone who got on the list before I posted that the first batch was spoken for, already has one here being held for them.

I am sort of thinking it might be a really good idea to let these 2 get installed before I ship more out. Since I have only done mockup installs, I would sort of like to get some confirmation that everything required was included in the kit and it wouldn't hurt to have them run it a couple days. Since there are changes in this final model from the tested and proven prototype, I would sleep better with test results on this exact model... but at the same time, I cant even fathom what would go wrong with it. I have gone over it so many times now that I believe it is extremely unlikely to encounter any issues with its functionality as a race product, or every day driveability. Its just that I have never shipped a product that had problems or needed an update, and id like to keep my record clear!

I would personally like to give it all of next week to see where these 2 gentlemen end up with it... but with enough pressure I could probably be persuaded to send out some more.

As for your project.. you already have our twin pump? I only know of one being installed right now so that means I know who you are. We will have to catch up... this new product here, while it could be used with your twin pump, there wouldnt be much reason to do them together. We will have to catch up soon.

any pricing on this yet? Also I have not seen any email from you in a while on this. The lest message I got was back on 7/9/12.

Chad, I apologize for not having used the email list as I intended to. When we decided that we are going to start translating the product to a few different platforms once the 370z was finished, we decided that we wanted to limit our showing off of how we are doing it.

So I have actually not emailed anyone on the list. I still have the list of course, and these reservations still stand and will go in order.

I will try to post up some pricing details before I leave the office today... but in case i dont get to the details today... said and done in the current configuration we are offering it, with a single walbro 255 and associated plumbing for surge can style install, we are talking about $1060.

Its a little more than I was hoping but we spent a lot more time in design and machining so that this product could be used in a couple different modes and with several fuel pump configurations so that this can be used for any level of 370z, between street and full-on track, with any power level between stock and potentially 1200+ HP (pending high flow testing). Its an all in one solution for fuel supply in this car, and I hope people find the value in it.

I dont want to say much about it right now, but there area discussions over a simplified ecomony model that could save $150-175. I would prefer not to have to do that, but we will see how the response is to the current model.

One thing that I want people to keep in mind also is that the pricing is including a wiring kit and hoses/plumbing for install, and the fuel pump. So when compared to universal surge cans, you must add up those costs that are not included with universal surge cans unless you are looking at some type of vehicle specific kit perhaps.
