The EPA and CARB have taken the position that the manufacturer of such products is solely responsible for the proper use of those products by the end-user. Despite our best efforts to carefully develop and implement procedures designed to ensure that each purchaser of our off-road/race-only products is aware of his or her legal obligations and promises to use those products in a lawful manner, as of this time we have not been able to gain satisfactory assurance that such measures will be considered adequate by the EPA and CARB. Consequently, we have chosen to withdraw our off-road/race-only products from the marketplace until we are able to verify that the sale of those products can be achieved in a manner that satisfies EPA’s and CARB’s concerns.We will continue to monitor developments with regard to applicable federal and state legal requirements. If and when we are able to re-introduce these products into the marketplace in a manner that definitively meets all EPA and CARB requirements, we will do so. In the meantime, we trust that you will understand the basis for our decision.Thank you for your continued support.Regards,Rick Trudo, President - SCT Performance, LLC.__________________ShaunJoel Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79125-sct-in-us-under-pressure-from-carb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always two sides to any story if you are refering to the flash box one. I have SCT and HP and the SCT is the more complete tuning package.
