Yep, have one on order and from what I am told, they should be shipping this week!
As far pricing, the base kit is going for $5,795 shipped to your door and looks like many of the speedshops and online stores will carry them.
Hope to get you all some real feedback very soon!!

I've been thinking about this quite a lot. If I do go FI at some point, it'll most likely be this unit.
I'm actually glad to hear there's no whine. I want to hear the exhaust scream myself. But, I'm sure if you crank the boost way the crap up it'll start to whine a bit.
But if I do get one of these I'll be staying at 5 psi. That plus my Kooks and cams should put the rwhp in the low 400s which is where I want to be. Safe but still very good.

Also, I emailed Edelbrock and they said it would be possible for me to still use my Steeda CAI with this unit. I'd just need a different rubber tube thingy that connects the CAI to their round throttle body. That's something I'm sure any shop could come up with.
Now a carbon fiber tube would be awesome.

I just checked out their web site and watched their videos describing this kit, it looks impressive and provides very safe HP. If I go F/I this is the one I will get. Of course I want to see the numbers first, though I have confidence in Edelbrock products. The design features are unique and well thought out and better than what others are selling in my opinion. And as far as the whine is concerned I was never a fan of too much. I want to hear the exhaust.
I'm trying to control my urge to order one right now.
