The exact quote was, "I can't even see any light at the end of the tunnel on this project right now."

I would be thrilled to spend $2xxx and get 475whp, but that option just won't even be available to me thanks to lack of tuning.
Well that would be a bummer if nothing comes to light with the tuning beyond 2011. But due to lack of cores with the N55 I think it will be a limited market regardless. Either way we are going to proceed, think it will be good for the eligible consumers to have a choice to make which will only help them in the long run. We really would like to see a very affordable solution for the N55 guys who want stealth, low cost, and have the tuning support.
