Great idea guys. Would love to know the pricing on the unit as well w/out the blue knob. Should be interesting.

i think its a great idea and im sure the product will be very well made and supported as it is buschur and dynoflash endorsing it. for those guys that want to get fast at the strip without the time consuming learning curve of the awd launch which can be costly aswell this will be a great product.

personally one of the things i enjoy must about building and racing cars is well learning to do it better. i think the product will take a little of that away but as always to each his own.good job to al and david for catering to all of their customers.

Keep in mind that this piece is specificly prohibited by the NHRA/NDRA rulebook if you have intentions of running it in that series. I'm not sure about BOTI or any other sanctioning bodies thoughh, it may fly there.

George, Big Al ,and all at ICS and DYNOFLASH, thanks for taking the time in your busy schedules to do such an clean install. without you guys this would have taken much longer to get to this point. I could have taken this somewhere else but with Peter's and David's recomendations I felt confident you were the guys. You had the faith thats why only you have the deal. Another first of many to come, instead of another copied part from someone elses hard work. Thanks JK
Anytime.

How much is this going to cost? How hard is the install? Ever though of getting a smaller knob for that think. It sticks out like a sore thumb
just mount the blue knob elsewhere so no one see's it....i think they just put it there for visuals on how everything works together.

Will these come pre set to an average clutch release speed for launching so that we have an idea where to start dialing it in from. Just a thought that may help a little & save some clutch durring initial setup. Is there any idea of price & a time frame when it will be released?

Yes you can mount the knob anywhere in the cockpit.You can also use several different types of knobs to for adjustment also,kinda like your choice of what looks better and works for you.

The unit will be delivered fully opened like stock,you make the adjustment from under the hood if you want it that way (like a manual boost controller) or adjust it from the cockpit controller to dial it in perfectly either way.

..everyone avoids the price questions....i assumed that would be the case until testing is done and the product is produced....

what kind of warranty will be provided if any....leaky hoses or fluids....bad cylinder

How does it only regulate your launch in first and then let the clutch work normally through the other gears?

I'm guessing it has a bypass and 1st gear switch but, it's hard to tell from the pic.

The initial purpose was to get a clean launch in any track condition but it evolved to a tuning aid. And yes it will be legal in its manualy controled state, with the AEM all bets are off. 9sec 240, and gsnt, this is not an AMS vs. Buschur and ICS/Big Al thing, like I said I built it for U2SOL for his own personal use. This thread should not be turned into a war of vendors. Those guys were there to speed up development and I think it can benefit everyone here as this was Pete's intension. Also before anyone has the idea of a knock off we have multiple version with many options.
Thank you Jim.It is a pleasure working with you and the suspension componets you have made and sent to me are simply amazing SECOND TO NONE PERIOD!!!! Looking foward to a great future with you and doing whatever it takes to make the EVO A SECOND TO NONE MACHINE,you sir jim have that talent period!

Seems like it takes driver skill out of the equation, and where is the fun in that

no offense but i hope the production kit comes with a better looking knob. that knob looks like it came off of a detergent bottle.
