Default Availability of SMS Butterfly Hood?

It's been a while since I was last on this site! Does anyone know if these are still in production? From the SMS 460X Mustang? I'm interested in purchasing it for my 5.0, but information on it is as about as scarce as Obama's approval rating. I fired smssupercars and e-mail and called them up as well and have gotten squat from them. What gives?

The 2010-Present Butterfly hood was to be standard on the 460x and 351x, while optional on the SMS 302 SC. With model reconfiguration and name changes, the hood did not enter production.

Thanks Dave! So the information that one of their employees is incorrect? She stated that they are going to put the hood in production in the next 3-4 months, they are just waiting for the patent to clear. But didn't they already cleared patent with the acquisition of Techco?

When a new product comes into the marketplace can be very unpredictable, especially in this economy.

I'm not so sure it's correct to say there was an acquisition of Techco by anyone.

thats about the only hood I'd gladly swap mine out with.

I wonder how they hooked up the vents to cycle with the engine.

Tape a tach needle to the armature? LOLOLOL....
