That is HUGE money. I would rather make one, would look better as well.

so put your welder where your mouth is and make some and then sell them here!!!

it does look very yummy, and i immediately thought of putting individual throttles on there when i saw it. hotcakes!

I havent had time to fit my FMIC yet cause I use my car everyday, so I definately dont have time to make a manifold. If you have a spare laying around somewhere I could use that for measurements and stuff, and could still drive my car everyday.

hmmm... i know of someone who has a couple of manifolds lying around (vlade), and i could organise to get measurements...

but you all know how long that would take!!!

By the way I have recently aquired Autocad and taught myself to use it.
I have been designing all kinds of deviousness regarding intake manifolds and plenum chambers for cars I am busy with.

If u are serious I can look at doing something but to insure yr seriousness I will require a substantial deposit.

T6 ally and stuff isnt cheap

Try get your hands on CATIA, it has substance flows and stuff. So you can draw the manifold in 3D then flow, water, air, whatever through it and see it losses.

After 6 years on a flowbench I am a expert at predicting flows

Ok Ok Ok I have somewhat of an understanding after 6 years on a flowbench

Doubt I will be investing in any other software for a while. Betwwen Flash 8 and Autocad I have my hands full at the moment

What AutoCAD you got?? Did you buy it or get your hands on it???

i reckon, with his comments about needing substantial deposits and having his hands full, and "all" the cars in his workshop, he bought it.

that would be the "right" way to do things!

I have a greddy one....makes its power from mid to top...bigger throttle helps with bottom end response

Those plendium intakes works nice, yeah the GReddy is good one to concider.
