Well I've decided to let the cat out of the bag. I had said that there was more to come, and here it is...

BADNBLK will be a feature in an upcoming issue of Chevy High Performance Magazine! I don't know the issue yet, but will be late spring 2017. I'll make sure all of you know when it will hit the shelfs!
