[QUOTE="Tob, post: 11214265, member: 83412"] Chris, FRPP has historically released their new catalog at each year's [URL="http://www.performanceracing.com/tradeshow/"]PRI show[/URL]. This year the trade show will be in Orlando, Florida, from December 1st through the 3rd. They sometimes release information in the catalog early, so I expect good things to come between now and December. Hopefully they update the online catalog early this year. Note the second paragraph from this photo Sid provided from this year's SEMA show...
