Default they produce them in batches, so the next batch fills current BO's and then some leftovers (few)....

for stock, which go pretty quickly. Hence, you will most likely be waiting on them, at most times of the year

Default Delta is about 10-15 degrees higher than AWE IC's.............

i agree AWE IC's are better, but your statement "not even close" is wrong. They are closer in performance than you think.
