Truthfully, we have no idea. It depends on quantity and quantity depends on if we can sell them and if we can sell them depends on how they perform. We're in limbo at the moment.

Thanks.

Perfection takes time?

In all honesty, a project like this getting done in anything less than a month is impressive. Fixture is being water jetted and should be done any day. I've been told the billet pieces should start rolling off the mill late this week/early next week. He had to order some special endmills to do everything we're asking of him which has been the hold up.

First off: Awesome project! Very excited to see how this progresses, do take pictures of prototyping and post them please! The one question I have is whether you have played around with modeling larger throttle bodies at all? My naive first look makes me wonder if the throttle body will be a choke point for the rest of the manifold.

I've been dreaming of more power
Keep it n/a , don't want it sour
I hope it's not too much to ask
Velox will give more air in a flask

Plus fifteen horses across 4 k
Will give me a bit more to play
Just a little more down the straight
Maybe I'll see one hundred and eight

My right foot is saying give me more
As I try to press it through the floor
Tell myself this is the very last mod
Have to stop driving like a plod

The bank account is looking unsteady
My wallet has lost so much already
Oh no! What's that I spy?
A light weight clutch that will make me fly!

CNC right? Sounds like some add ons were needed.

So cost wise I'm assuming 1K+?

Zaneman · 03-07-2015, 02:19 PM

I'm guessing $1.5k+

If we are going to play the guess the price I say it will cost somewhere between 18 cents and $24,295.

3.5k for me
