I would love to see them get these into production. They are trying to raise $160000 to finish testing and such on them.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

Ah that worked. Thanks David. One of thes sure would be nice to have. I occasionally miss the exhaust brake on jaeger, so one of these would be rather nice

They've made a lot of progress on this project since I last checked on it.

Dman, pacbrake already makes something like this for the 6.7L. They call it load leash. I don't think you get the sound though :lol:

That's a weeping style though, and requires you to have an exhaust brake. Last I heard they were working on a compression style one, but for some reason don't want guys to run arp625's with their brakes (which of course is what I'm running)

Yes, those links are to the same product. They have just released another YouTube video though, I don't know why my link doesn't work. I can still view it there. Either way, they say they are looking for a business partner(s) to invest $160,000 to complete their venture and get this thing marketed. Seems like a small investment to me, considering the potential reward of this product. Sure wish I had that $$ to spare.

Compression Release Technologies ...... Check out their You Tube Channel, it will be there.
