Just emailed RPI to see if they have gotten anywhere with theirs.
Making a one off is not THAT complex. Making sure it works and performs is very complex. Our test car was sent to many different awd dyno facilities. None of the facilities were able to give us solid runs. All the runs were different (including the stock runs). Although there were gains shown with our prototypes on the car, it was still inconsistent enough to where we did not want to base our reputation on it. Until we figure out a way to test what the parts are REALLY doing with the car, we have postponed further prototyping.
