I was thinking that you could have your logo there and machine around it, so that the logo remains at the original height. Then fill the depression with black enamel and leave the logo silver.

I disagree, no logo would be great. Advertise all you want somewhere else, i like to keep the engine bay as clean as possible. No offense to the creators.
There are also other ways to designate a product that it was created by a company then with the use of logos. This involves a greater factor of creativity.

So will the throttle maintain the same stock height? I'd like to drop an ESC kit on this.

Also smooth is overrated. Under normal circumstances I'd take a uniform rough sand cast surface over mirror polished smooth to ensure proper laminar airflow for even more velocity.

Compromise and just have the logo on one side.

Throttle body is 100% in stock location.

In certain places the manifold is taller. Specifically above the heads.

Can you say at this point in time if the Velox manifold will be higher than the top of the strut/suspension towers?

It won't get Snooze's approval if it isn't GrimmSpeed compatible.

Captain Snooze · 05-23-2015, 07:15 PM

^lol
But there is an element if truth to that.

It sits just below the strut towers.

Well, we had some success over the long weekend.

With the help of @Nelsmar we are dialing in cam timing for the manifold currently. Dyno should be within the next few weeks although we believe we are running the incorrect bellhorn height for an NA application. Even still, Ecutek logs are showing some potential that makes us excited

@NotEric6
Can you explain in non technical terms why you suspect the bellhorns are the wrong height for na applications?
