Hah, going okay but not great?

Whatever their version of great is scares me. This process has taken way too long and as one of the first members to swear they would purchase this no matter what, I'm already backing out and would never consider buying it especially for the price they want.

Intake manifold ($800), camshafts ($2000), clutch / LWF (~$1000).... $3,800 later and you're barely done with the basic bolt ons? Not worth it for an Altima, 350z yes...but unfortunately not for me.

i don't know about you. but i will buy this no matter what. i think our intake manifolds are a piece of shit and we can gain easily with all the bolt ons and tunning a good 20whp. i'll be in the 280 whp n/a area and not counting nitrous.
i can't wait

I will probably buy it just for the fact that I am hungry for mods on my vq. I plan on getting all boltons and maybe some internals before i get the EU and tune it. When its finished it should be a very quick family car.

I will probably buy it even after the wait. I just wanna see the actual gains on a car with most every bolt on not a stock one. I actually like waiting is let's me save more $ and buy more bolt ons before I get it all tuned.

IM = <$800
Cams = ~$500 + install
no traction = priceless

or more. nobody knows the price yet. I'm with steven88. I'm in no matter what cause our manifolds are a pain in the ass and restrict a lot. if i decide to go custom or modify my own one before they release it is their fault for taking to damn long. I have a shop local that is charging me 1200 to make a custom sheetmetal. i have a spare manifold that i can send to extrude hone but they charge 650. or i can simply do the same project as jime and modify the spare one. I have only waited this long cause they have been telling next week for a couple of months now.
