x2 on pics being down.

What are you designing the intake for? (Ie, FI/NA/10krpm, etc)

Intake is being designed for increased efficiency. We're hopeful for NA power but it's more likely to help out with FI.

First time I'm seeing this and I'm kinda upset! It was all linked to facebook and all the photos are there. Looks like I'll be using photobucket.

I'm posting for two things:

1) Keep up all the hard work because I like what you're doing...

but

2) I can't SEE what you're doing because most of your pictures have stopped working. lol. Get them re-hosted or whatever needs to be done so I can see all your awesome progress! =)

Thanks and will do. Screw facebook!

I think I fixed them all... that sucked. Photobucket from here on out.

Finally finished these units. We're pretty happy with how they came out visually.

That's our goal... no promises but we want to get these out ASAP

. Just like everything else though. The more stuff we sell, the more stuff we can develop

@eric6 I love this thread. I've been lurking for awhile, though we've actually talked before. I live in Gilbert and spoke with you briefly regarding a diffuser design. The ultimate issue I came across was fitment with an aftermarket exhaust (Since I don't have one or any concept of which I would buy).

It's been good to see this continue and I've had fun looking into this. I wish I had your skills with a welder. I'd just start fabricating my own exhaust. LOL. Keep it up. your designs are great and, at least the few times we spoke, your attitude has been very encouraging and supportive. It's good to see so much awesome pour out of our local community.

Thanks for the kind words! You're welcome to stop by anytime. I know I've said it before but I really do need to join in on a few of the local community things we have here. It's just far for me and I'm constantly working (2 full time jobs nearly). I'll come out soon though! Hahaha.

Starting Monday off with a not so bad scenario...

And if anyone is interested in how we came up with the design, how it is modeled, how it has been tested, etc.... http://velox-motorsports.com/category/suspension/

We are getting the parts hard anodized then will put it in a fixture and load it off car to ensure our FEA matches with real world results using strain gauges and measuring deflection.
