that actually looks really good.. my 45 tire covered the wheel gap a little bit.. not sure how yours looks like that with a 40 tire but I think it looks awesome! nice combo

how is the difference in driving feel on a 9" 255 tire?

I upgraded from OEM to 225 7.5" and it feels alot different but I can feel the weight

Correct currently slipped together and welded together. Offers options for different runner lengths

How about making it multipart, so that you can experiment with overall stack height to tune it for wished rpm range performance?

It is possible
All the parts are individually built the RPM and cam I want to run require very short runners

looks like some great progress, Can't wait to see them on the car.

celek · 05-24-2016, 04:08 PM

I have a few final tweaks but I would say 90% done

Graphite or sand cast them and make a side business.

Laser the flanges and weld them.

Those flutes/runners machined are going to be expensive as hell though for a one off. I would guess several grand in my ME experience, depends how fast you need them. Emachineshop is a good place for cheaper machining. If you use protolabs or rapid machining going to be $$$.

Following this thread for sure, nice work

If he 3d prints them, he can use the lost pla method and cast them with an aluminum/copper composite. Cheaper than having them one off machined.

You can find a demo of how to do the lost pla method on youtube.

Right thats similar to investment casting (lost wax).
