I think the deposits are to secure a kit for the introductory price being offered. Not to fund the manufacturing process, which I agree is a terrible business strategy.

It's basically an Incon kit, just revamped. It keeps the A/C.

Hell, Dave Inall even has ties to them. Should be a good kit, glad they didn't follow his business practices. I may trade up my Incon for this kit since the quality seems to be improved.

If you search for other APS F-body kit threads it was mentioned in those.

Ha ha! I completely agree! I keep telling everyone I need the one job for the house and bills and another job to pay for everything I want to do to all of the cars.... It is addicting. But I guess there could be other bad habits to have....

The F Body TT system will retain the factory AC.

The F Body TT system will retain the factory AC and I won't be taking any deposits until May 07 at the earliest as the systems won't be produced until July 07.

When you say cutting, where exactly are you referring to?

With a built engine, nice heads, turbo spec cam, high octane fuel and thorough engine tuning I expect to see around 850-900 whp.

No offence taken and I'm not asking for any $$$ until APS is close to production of the F Body system being fully completed.
