Yes to the first statement... And there are mixed reviews on the VRP headers. The dyno I posted shows obvious gains, but it was not documented if that was ONLY headers, or headers + tune.

Make no mistake, we had confidence in Speedriven because of Rudy. But you must remember that Rudy was an employee -- Marcin called the shots. Rudy could only do what he was authorized to do; if Speedriven needed him on other projects, other projects he did. Note which username started this thread... it wasn't rcompart -- it was Speedriven. This was a business venture for them, not Rudy.

It may take a couple days, but BEGi will get back to you. And my reference was to the impatients of the turbo project, when a header project has taken even longer.
Same page now... gotcha.

Can't blame you at all brother.

Guaging the interest I think I could safely say 15 sets to follow if they can come through?
I'd be apprehensive to make any commitment on behalf of the forum... what say ye, forum members?
