We jump in wherever we feel it is relevant or we can help/answer questions, etc. Our goal is not to spam the forum but post if/when we can add to the convo, or provide assistance. If you want/need us to jump in feel free to summon one of us with a tag!

That's fine, but I proactively sent her a DM sharing my position upon discovering someone from AWE offering product support for the first time in months after I have shared several posts/threads on the subject.
Every time I work on my car, I am losing money that could be made by finishing one of the several ZLEs in my shop or building the custom parts I sell to others. Building my AWE component system was for my benefit and I did so because my continued conversations with John lead me to believe this company CARES about the Camaro Community. In our conversation from yesterday, I still believe and have faith through everyone's input... they will see the desire to make this happen. Only those who want this system can make it happen now. I did my part.

Patriot, just when I thought we were friends
For transparency, we have 3 profiles on all forums which we pay monthly to sponsor. Myself, our Creative Director Josh (who still works here 11 years later but has since passed his forum responsibilities on to me), and Christian who is our newest hire and will be taking over the majority of the forum responsibilities in the future.
To clarify, I never questioned the validity of your interaction with John, I wanted to clear things up as there was an obvious miscommunication going on. John is a very knowledgeable enthusiast on our sales team, but is not on the engineering/development team so he would not have any sway over whether a product gets made, which was the point I was trying to convey. It is my opinion that in the excitement of your build communications got ahead of the process that we have to follow is all.
And as far as myself, I am not in Sales, far from it in fact! Although I get the confusion as my title is also Sr. Performance Specialist
I am part of the marketing and video team (the driving footage you see on our YouTube is me), I help with technical questions on here and social media, and I handle all of our sponsorships.
But back to the important stuff! Whether you see me or Christian commenting in threads or not - we see them and we hear what you are saying. For all of those who filled out the form I am very appreciative. That way I have something to back up my opinion and recommendations when we review or discuss the Camaro market. And for those who added details on volume with the addition of headers etc is another great data point that I will be sure gets into the conversation internally as well.
I know it is easy/trendy to vilify brands, but at least in our industry we are just fellow gearheads on the other end of the keyboard, and for me I am doing my job because I love it but also so I can afford to take my car to the track, which I think we can all get behind.
