I'm stating my oppinion(speaking my mind)...for someone who is supposed to be giving meb a tongue lashing your doing nothing but pleading my case."It's pointless to talk about to get or not to get a product thats not out" so whats this thread about? why are you defending my case with your misplaced rhetoric? Velicos? Me come across as an arrogant assh0le? sure thats not the impression you give?ie....takes a thief to catch a thief!And like you said "Sho stoppa" "I dont know peoples finances" just like you dont know mine so making my $800 "work for me" $800 does not have much of a return rate compared to the amount already working for me! so whats your point? might as well tell you to sell your car an make that money work for you...what do you need a car for? Mass transit is great and efficient buddy!If its an argument that your trying to accomplish you definantly are not a first choice.Your debate skills are rather sorry.

not only do people dont understand you, i dont think you know what you are saying. i would say quit while ur ahead but it seems too late for that judging by the responses. y dont you go hibernate or something and leave us girls to browse the boards since your manlyness would be lost by watching the boards.

We are supposed to do final fitment later this week, before we send it out
for polish (2-3 day process)

We are getting much closer, and hopefully I can have pics for you within a
week of a polished version. As soon as we re-install after polish, they
will be doing more after dynos. At the same time we hope to produce 1 more
for testing with jeffrey's car.

Robert,

Man, these guys are so full of sh|t its not even funny anymore...

Well I decided that I will just modify the stock one. Not because of the length of time by Kinetix but it did allow me time to consider the cost and benefit and I think I can accomplish almost as much with the old one. I finished it yesterday took about 4 hours to cut the shelf completely out for direct flow to all 6 runners and eliminate the butterfly valve. It will reduce low end but for the track at WOT you are only at a low RPM for a brief time in 1st gear after that its all over 4000 RPM. I also have a 3400 stall converter so even less time at lower RPM's.

Ok here is pic, its hard to show the whole inside, but basically I just removed the whole shelf area between the upper and lower area. You have to be careful that you don't cut right through the wall. I used a small body saw to do it but the individual that told me about it used a dremel type tool with an aluminum cutting bit. I cut as close as I could all the way around to remove the maximum amount of material and open up the area between all 6 runners.

Second pic is the butterfly valve cover I made out of tinted lexan.

I am also going to make a phenolic spacer where the lower IM connects to reduce heat. I already bought the material but its going to take some work to cut it out.

this is how it looks stock

**Bigox911** · #**1166** (**permalink**) 03-02-2006, 04:41 PM

Why is that shelf area there in the first place?

virgilio7 · #**1167** (**permalink**) 03-02-2006, 04:50 PM

split air "evenly" between banks

Jime · #**1168** (**permalink**) 03-02-2006, 04:58 PM

The Power valve opens for top end and joins the upper and lower areas effectively reducing the runner length. What I have done is remove the power valve plus the remaining metal that joins the upper and lower. The metal I removed is probably 3 times the area of the power valve butterfly and completly opens that area completely so there is no division at all.

This pic sort of shows how the length of the runners is lengthened and shortened by the power valve operation.

Good job Jime.... have you isntalled it yet? If so, how does she run now?
