Too bad the SSP build didn't pan out. Even though I really wanted it to succeed, I'm not terribly surprised how it turned out and we can leave it at that.

I'm gonna assume that the West Coast YSI M3's owner felt the need to prove a point and cut the reins loose.
I know of eight YSI builds in the last 2.5 years. Besides the airstrip car, where are they all and what happened to them?

I just want to see one of them succeed beyond a proof of concept. For the benefit of the market, I'm rooting for that success. But until that happens, I wouldn't say anybody has a proven solution that I would recommend -- let alone one that can deliver 800 whp longer than a dyno run or airstrip event.
