Al-
I think sale of the product is being impacted by several things. Here are a few of my impressions.
1) GT40 continuation, replica and kit sales seemed to be growing at a brisk pace in the past but have slowed significantly due to logistics issues, transaxle availability\choice, legal issues, the economy, etc. You know, all the sticky business issues that are a deterrent to smooth sales for all suppliers of parts and products, including this fuel system.
2) In 2005-2007, the economic activity related to not only sub-prime but all derivative financing models was extraordinary. The dollar turnover and income generation in our economy will never be fully estimated. That circumstance doesn't exist any longer. I think the short answer to your question is the economy. I see it in my business. It's definitely a weird time.
3) The system looks great. Maybe one of the GT40 guys near you can do a video dyno with the system versus a carb.
