Generation 2!! I must have missed that Jake,whats the difference between gen1 and gen2. Jake do u believe that the newer larger 06 thru 08 bearing is really superior to the double row and have u seen or done any work on this newer design in respect to IMSB failure. I have searched the web and found none yet.

The Gen 2 retrofit details have not been disclosed publicly as of yet. This will occur after the first of the year as our focus is to get the units in the hands of our distributors before releasing the details.

The 06-08 IMSB have proven to be solid. Though we have seen some failures they only occur on-track.

I am very interested in more info on the Gen 2 IMSB. I was planning on getting mine done later this month but it sound like I might want to wait.

Jake - Any update on Gen 2 release? If already posted elsewhere missed it. I'm waiting to do a single row 3.2L until I can learn more.
