I believe it was a guy named Steve Rothenbuehler that works at http://www.omnipowerusa.com// He used to work at Speed Image when he first put it together, then later worked for Skunk2 and Dynamic. This was back in... '96 or '95 I want to say, maybe after that, you'd have to ask him-- I think he's Omniman on H-T.

i heard Fuchs was the first as well, but will we ever realy know?
i do know a friend of mine had a ls/vtec in his hatch back in 99, and he got the idea from talking with Dr Charles..

Omniman did a writeup on this in the tech forum or something. I'll post the link if I ever get around to it.

Edit I found it:
