I guess I am trying to decide between the Stage I Cosworth kit and the M62 kit. How sorted-out is the M62 kit going to be? I think that the M62 will have better long-term potential; but how long before all of the little developmental issues get sorted out?

Honestly he could not tell me no matter how hard he tried, think about

J/KI wish that I would have had a chance to go for a ride in that Beast. By the way, thanks for the PIMP parking spot!

There are no hard numbers, namely performance or price yet. It is still being refined to see what it can provide, and the costs involved to do so.
Estimates, guessitmations, and ranges have been provided though. This is an interest list, not one requesting a commitment. If one would seriously consider 40 or so whp for around $3k, then I'd chime-in as being "interested."

Definitely interested - the M62 appeals to the practical modder in me, since it won't trigger any alarms when going for a smog check in CA.
However, it's going to be a while (at least 6-12mo) before I can justify springing the $3-4K for it.

Good Morning everyone......
Let's see if I can answer some of the burning questions.
We are more then happy to do so, I think a $500 would cover it,
with the caveat that I can not guarantee an excact delivery date.
I will have final pricing shortly, but I will
expect the system to be somewnhere in the mid three thousand range.
for the basic system. Additional costs for uppgraded injectors and software.
Ohhh yes it will
Mr Park I will personally make sure Nardo takes care of you.
And I would love to come over and visit with you guys soon.
I would would do a leakdown test to make sure all is well with the
piston rings. I would also start with a smaller jump in power, and not
go nuts with high boost pressures. Also remember the M62 will deliver
higher CFM's at lower temperatures giving the engine a breather (so to speak).
If you like to be close to or above 250whp a head uppgrade is most
likely mandatory. We will have the M62 on the Cosworth car very shortly
with all the info and power specs to follow.
Just call us.....
If you like to be on the M62 list, please call us or email me
peter@m7tuning.com as we need names, ph# etc.

Will the DFIC work with the M62.
Dalbi R&D likes to order M62

Would there be a problem with an older engine

i am seriously interested . but i gotta say i want it thoroughly tested first. no offence it sounds awsome but if trannys are gonna go along with axles and the like i want it to happen to your ride first . also i want to see how the charging system handles the electric water pump when you've got all the other systems on . if it's bullet proof i'll be more than happy to take a couple hundred h.p. off your hands.
