This is where Roush comes into the picture. They will calibrate/map the whole system to get the required mpg that would not be possible with a ECU designed for a heavier vehicle and the running gear (transmission,axles,etc.) must be able to hold the increased power.
Here is the latest date waiting to be pushed back:
In today’s Three Wheeling blog, we are going to outline how the ordering process will work for reservation holders leading up to production (which, as we outlined in our August filing, is targeted to begin in 2019).We hear from quite a few...
This might help... It does for 30-06. (two different purchase sources).

Bottom line... IF you are going to bet your life/family on the weapon(any type) make sure you put enough rounds through it to verify it will function as designed.

I would say that you do not get the OEM part that was replaced with a option. It is all about $$$. Just like new 4 wheel vehicles.
I am sure that you will be able to purchase the OEM part at the brick&mortar store along with options not originally ordered.
Horsepower is NOT free. If you do not care about fuel mileage... transplant that little Ford 3cyl. turbo into the Elio.

65000 ($1000) all in = 2018...maybe.
And you guys thought the cruise control was going to be free.
I am committed for $7000.00,but I am wondering if the % off early discount was just signed away too !

An aluminum option would be great...for the Elio.
