John,
I really like that you are considering selling some items seperate. Keep the products coming. You really are making a name for XV and the new pricing on the stage 1 will help for a lot of people.

1.1gs on the stage II? Anything modern to compare that to in your testing? i.e.--new vette, BMW, etc.

Great stuff.
I may have to talk to you guys on my 6.1 although I can't probably do your complete turn key engine and full suspension. Gotta make some compromises for the overall budget. Maybe a rotating assembly and intake, EMS, etc. (I guess that's the full engine though) Dang....I'd like 600 hp! with your suspension.

Porsche Carrera GT - 1.2 G

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder - 0.95 G

Ferrari F430 - 0.94 G

Ferrari 360 Spider - 0.90 G

Aston Martin DB9 Volante Convertible - 0.92 G

Porsche GT3 (997) - 0.92 G

Bentley Continental GT - 0.84 G

Ford GT - 0.99 G

Lotus Exige S HRM Edition - 1.1 G

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - 0.97 G

Yes, during our testing we found the car pulled 1G sustained lateral. 
To hit those numbers you need to run good low profile tires. 

We also had chassis stiffenig on the car, which is always a good idea to improve ride and performance.
What we did was create an optimized package of all matched components with custom shock valving (we have different valving for B and E body cars) and upgrades where we found there to be real value.  We also use really good shocks - high pressure monotube, that are race quality pieces.  It's all been track tested and dialed in.

So if you want an optimized stock type suspension that is totally bolt on, that's what this is.
I've driven this setup on track and on the street and it works really well on both.
Dramatic improvements over stock.

By good are we talking Hoosier or Toyo RA1 or more like a BFG KDW or Kumho MX.
Thanks

We've been running BFG KDW's on everything except the convert we just finished.

We thought the KDW (which is a wet tire) was a more realistic solution than running the KD (which is a dry tire).

For the convert we ran Michelins, becuase we wanted to fit 335's outback and BFG doesn't make them in that size.

This kind of support and attention to detail is what will build a good customer base. I can't order right away, but I am sold on XV as my suspension and chassis stiffening solution.
