All the vendors should get together, and do a track test with the Innovative Supercharger, Vortech Supercharger, AVO turbocharger, Full Blown turbocharger, Accelerated Performance turbo, new PTuning turbocharger, and FA20club turbo.

That's something I'd pay to see

Let's just all pitch in, and we can rent out an air strip for the autox & drag strip

Once upon a time I really wanted this kit. I'd still like to see it come out and kick ass. That would make a lot of members happy.

I really doubt a company would say that to there customer base. They probably got tired of keyboard tough guys haggling them. So rather then spend time doing damage control on the internet they are out developing the kit.

Great to see them out putting some real time on the kit.

Yea! It takes a lot of money for a company to do the P/R on this forum.

I know with all the time I waste on this forum I could put it into my job and work 10-20 hours overtime at least lol...

Not really, no one haggled them UNTIL they kept promising and missing dates.

Solid business 101, NEVER promise a date to a customer that you'll miss, and if you miss one unintentionally NEVER EVER promise and miss another one.

But yeah, they have missed like 5 and it hasn't been by a couple of days, more like months. Oh and the counter on that missed date keeps growing.

The funniest thing in this type thread is reading all the speculation (good and bad) of people coming to their own shot in the dark conclusions of what has happened to this kit. I can't say exactly what I know but I was trusted with information when Dyno tune for it started, but the only thing I can say is that they have dropped the ball big time with empty promises.

I cant argue at all with missing a date. However as a company would you rather have people get cranky over not have a number or people be pissed when there is a issue with a product due to it being rushed to market. I like to believe people are honest and think Innovate has a good reason for the "delay", if they choose to share the reason is up to them.

You are still missing part of the point here. It is not the fact that there are no numbers yet....

It is the fact of missed dates once, twice, etc. and no explanation for it. Hey, shit happens to anyone and on every business. They just need to be real; come in and say, " Hey guys, sorry for missing the set date, we ran into some issues and have moved out the official Dyno day. Will update later when we have a set date".

That simple statement, without sharing anything, would have been more than enough to most people. It shows they care about the customers who were eagerly waiting for the product information. It's that simple really.

I'm SURE they do care about the customers waiting for their product, but they have not handled it well. I am also sure once it is released, (even though they have already lost some sales here and there because of all this ordeal), if the kit produces good numbers it will sell like hot cakes.
