Default Elite releases '09's early.

A new cam design and 2 new models will be released on June 1.
The GT500 will replace the GTO and the Z28 will replace the Synergy XT.

Elite settled the suit w/ Datron and will not continue litigation. Hence the early release.

And of course I can't get the pics up. File too large. I will keep trying.

You would think this company would get their ducks in a line BEFORE releasing a product that was going to end up in a lawsuit......Maybe twice will be enough.

No Pic of it , but I know what u mean. I had 4 Z-28 Camaros.

Don,
I'm sure after this suit , they covered their bases.
Elite descided not to continue fighting Darton for the patent infringement of the binary cam.. It was probably going to drag out and they had this new cam design in the works a long, long time ago.
The early intro. of the cam design was a monetary move. I would believe if they kept using the existing design, they would have to buck up $$ to Daton.
Elite probably agreed to stop selling it and moved on to this design.

Nah....just plunge in and hope for the best.

Im guessin the new cams are lawsuit-free, correct? Those are some impressive IBO #s and BH tho. Wonder what it draws like?
