It will be available much faster then the ZL1 took, our goal is to have it to market before any other manufacturer.

The ZL1 had some design issues that we were not expecting, which obviously postponed things because we felt the need to make changes until we had what we felt was the best we could produce. Did we lose market share because of it taking longer, maybe we did. Are we going to release a CAI that we are not 100% confident is the best we can do just to say we have it done first, or in order to sell a few more units than the other guy, no. The fact is, most of the big companies do not come here on the forum and share info about new products until they are already developed and have a release date set. We try to be a little more casual with our customers and were sharing our development process with the Camaro5 community, in the future we'll probably keep development details on the hush until things are actually done, since it obviously upset some people when things dragged out longer then we originally anticipated. We were one of the first to market for the 2010-11 V6, 2010-2014 V8, 2012-2014 V6, and Supercharged applications for Magnuson, Whipple, and SLP. The ZL1 took longer then we thought it would to design, and for that we are sorry, overall though I'd say we are pretty darn good about getting things out quickly. We are a growing company and all we can do (like everyone else in this world) is learn from our past and try to do better in the future.
