I have to agree that if BC doesn't or cannot respond then the release will not likely be in the 1st quarter. It certainly does give one pause about waiting for the product release. Good customer relations might suggest keeping the buying public informed. If kits really have been released in Australia then maybe Magnacharger is having some kind of other difficulty. Certainly I am extremely pleased with my first kit. I am over 70k miles with no problems. The reason I have not gone turbo is that the system/progamming is certainly more complicated that the integrated kit from maggie. I guess I will wait till spring when I can do without my 4x4.

Its not that hard to hang a snail off of the front of a motor and make it run. We are fighting SEVERAL different issues with the NNBS Trucks. The new head design does not lend itself well to a short runner manifold, and our engineers have fixed the issue and new manifolds are on the way....Trust me, you will be taking the Paxton off and sending it back for the new Magna Charger 
You said it bro, there may come a time when NOTHING new is shared with the forum community until it is released.....for this exact reason.
I do know, and I would tell folks if I had a concrete answer, we do not have supply issues, we do not have quality issues, we do not even have employees that show up late for work
You summed it up though, "Smile and nod your head" Like I said we will not release anything until we are happy with the results.
My responsibility, NO.....My passion, YES. I have learned in my many years at this that giving release dates when you do not have them is not the right way to go about things. We have ALLOT of testing and engineering in these things and until we are 100% satisfied with the results we WILL NOT release ANYTHING.
I did notice, thanks for the heads up Einstein 
Settle down Kevin, no need to regress back to your old self on this one.
Here are the facts, I have a few Radix 1900 TVS units available that I can sell to the public, more on that later. The problems we are seeing are due to the limits of the stock motor and the supporting parts. In order to make BIG power with the 1900 (about 800 ft pounds at 3000 RPM) you need a BIG throttle body, a bigger balancer to run the 16 psi of boost and a forged motor to back it up. I was able to get about 11-12 psi on my 5.7L and the truck felt AWESOME, however now you are up against the weak transmission and shitting drive line.
I remember saying a LONG time ago, the TVS 1900 and 2300 are not going to be good on the stock motor. You will NEVER EVER reach the full potential on a stock short block.
If you are interested in purchasing a TVS 1900 Magna Charger kit for a 1999-2007 CLASSIC truck, call your favorite Authorized Magna Charger Dealer from the sponsor list on the right and order away. The kits available now do not have tuning support or an EO#, so please make a note of that. FYI L92 manifolds are on the way....more on that WHEN I KNOW.
This is one problem with the internet. A lot of times you hear about products WAY before they are ready for release and it makes you want it that much worse. Trust me I have been part of that group and it sucks waiting.
I'm sure when BC has info he can share with the community he will. Until then lets all settle down. Go have a beer or something.

Maybe he doesn't know, or he's not at liberty to say. It could be proprietary information as far as we're concerned. Supplier issues, planning, quality control are all valid things that can tie up a product release. We have things at my job that don't seem like much when you know what it is, but when someone asks, your just supposed to smile and knod your head. That could be the same scenario here.
Good things are worth waiting for.

BC has said in earlier posts Early 2008. To me that means the first Quarter or hopefully before May. Sucks to wait that long. IMHO the TVS won't be out till June or later. I had called Brian hoping to be a beta tester but that didn't work out.
If you like to tinker go with the turbo, you'll never be done working on it...
Crap the NNBS headers aren't even out yet. You'd think those would be easier to R&D than the TVS
