Well I have been following this thread since it's inception.
Didn't this thread start yesterday?

Basically you have to understand that 7-8 months ago the EBC wasn't released to the public and was under some heavy scrutiny.
Chris has been working on this EBC for the better part of 4 years now. So if you had spent that amount of time on something and it wasn't even ready, wouldn't you be a little sheltered about it?
As for more product info, I believe he should at least give a detailed description of how it works.
Anyways, 7-8 months ago Chris shot me an E-mail saying to call him, as he didn't want to discuss it over E-mail....fair enough. I did, no answer, and left a message. He called ME back. There was apparently one guy out in Cali running around with his EBC, so as far as availability goes, you could have got it had you heard about it. He didn't ask me to beta test it (as I have with other companies products in the past) and obviously the pricing schedule reflected that. I would still love to see an unbiased test of it's capabilities against any other EBC, MBC or the AEM solution. I'm not seeing the value and apparently no one else is either (from all accounts, these are not exactly flying off the shelves)

As for the "pain in the ass" of running both a business and race team, ask any shop/team the same question and they'll probably all answer the same. He just has an outlet to do it in each month so countless readers can read it. From all accounts this EBC will revolutinize the industry, we just need to give it some time.
Like I said, I get sick of reading the plugs every issue and have expressed my opinion to SCC directly. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I do look forward to reading the columns from the different contributors every month (even Chris when there is content). There can be some good info found as some of these folks are obviously closer to the "industry" than most of the readers.
