The batch 1 GB is closed, and there currently isn't anyone on the list that wants to trade out their spot.

However, there will be 4 pieces available for straight-up purchase after the GB mani's are all out, here in roughly a month. All 4 will be the fully loaded version... 2 will be powdercoated black, 2 will be powdercoated extreme chrome. They will all come with EGR flange/hose/fittings.

Price on those will be $999, and they will be boxed and ready to ship immediately after purchase. At this point, I have 9 people that have shown serious interest in these last 4, so I have to do "first come - first serve" on them.

I would have liked to keep the GB open all the way up 'til completion of this first batch, but I don't think that would be fair to the 17 people who have shown amazing patience and faith in me throughout this whole process. The price increase for the ready-to-ship pieces is there for the same reason.

This way, the early adopter doesn't get hosed by price cuts and product improvements (like they always do with pretty much every other part out there (notcool)). In the end, I want the b1 GB folks that truly made this whole thing happen to get the best deal. (bowdown)

Sorry if any of that ruffles feathers with anyone, but that's how it's gotta be. (strike)

Best bet for anyone wanting in on this right now is to subscribe to this thread and check in frequently for updates. I have a strong feeling that those last 4 won't stick around in my possession for very long once the first hand impressions start rolling in. (rockon)

hmm thats not good, i need one uncoated...

I would so send money right now for one of the last 4 if they are first come first serve... But my sister is going on deployment... and im helping her get ready... costing me alot of $

Sorry fellas was going to have some pics to share with ya'll today... but I came down with the flu last night and have been bed-ridden all day.

102* fever and feel like I got hit by a truck. Trip to the welder is going to have to wait til tomorrow.

Got Kelly lined up for Saturday, he's all caught back up on his primary projects at work and is going to get all of the flycutting done over the weekend. Kaehr is lined up for first thing next week.

EGR hoses, boxes, and packing material should all be here next week as well.

Also wrapping up the install guide and will be shooting that to all of you on the list... hopefully over the weekend.

Heading back to bed now but will check in later to answer any PM's or questions here. Pics coming up sometime before tomorrow evening.
