I know what you guys are all thinking about this because it just never happens but it did and not just once but everytime I raced... now just imagine what would happen if you had a car with the under pulley on and a cai????

. I know that "should I switch to 5th?" feeling, just ride it out, you're trap speed will thank you along with your transmission. Glad to hear things are moving along with RPW. I haven't been posting much lately, too busy driving or mowing grass! Keep us posted though.

Updates on the project, some more dyno reports especially on the turbo side of it as well for those interested.

So is rpw skipping over the rest of the na setup until the turbo is done, or are they working on them at the same time? I'm asking because they're doing the jobs out of the order that their website says they would do it. Is there a change of plans that you know about mitsiman?

No we are still developing products but we are unable to work exactly to plan at this time. So rather than hold every product up, we are moving along.
For the N/A product line the only thing left is the camshaft and computer, which we may probably grab another stock lancer, put the same exhaust one and do it on that instead depending upon what happens first.
The combination of lots of money on R&D, a pretty hectic racing schedule which we have a small break on for a while and really, we need to let our customer at least have her car to do some driving on for a while, just means we focus on contining the R&D even if it is out of order.
I am sure when we go to do some camshafts, there may be a few welcome testers in the USA if nothing else who will do some back to back dyno reports for everyone.

The E-8 system, will that be seperate from the cost of the turbo kit, or included? I looked up the cost of that system and it looks a little spendy. If it's not included in turbo kit, what do you estimate the cost of the kit, AND the haltech unit would be? And is it possible to purchase the haltech unit, and tune for N/A until I can afford to purchase the turbo kit in pieces?
