Anything yet

I check every day to see if there's an update, tbh

Waiting on someone in Las Vegas to actually follow through so I can do the test fitment. Hotrodz is going to help next week if I can’t find anyone sooner.

I have been working on perfecting the mold so I can produce more of these in less time but also need to round up more investment capital to get the needed equipment but I have a pretty solid lead there.

Cool but who are you using for a NA car? I'm NA and would hope to see a NA car before and after dyno?

I have someone with a stock NA car I’ll be testing on as well. The last of the materials should be here tomorrow to get a testable version put together.

If you don't end up finding someone NA to test it, feel free to hit me up. I have a dyno and my Z is already almost maxed out NA at 330 whp (no headers though)

I'd like to be in for one of your first production or pre production to see how it does with boost plus cams.

PIC UPDATE:

Got the intake installed a few weeks ago and haven't had a chance to upload them cause a unexpected medical emergency. That same event took all the funds I had to finish this.
It sucks that I'm about 90% ready to go into production and then ran into this hurdle.

I still plan on finishing this as soon as I can get the funds to complete it.

Everything fit pretty well in the test fitment. Just have a few minor tweaks to make.
In contact with a few potential investors to try and get everything done ASAP.

Hope to have good news soon.

Looks good.

NorthStyle · 09-17-2018, 11:48 PM

Looks amazing!! So big question: how does the car feel in terms of power/responsiveness vs. without it?

I just spent the whole week at Sema networking with some manufacturers and got some promising contacts for aluminum casting and carbon fiber. I’m sending them the designs and then we’ll work on getting a functional prototype and then move into production. Don’t have an ETA yet but as soon as I know I’ll pass on the info.

To get something casted takes a while. You get put at the back of the line. If you need it sooner. Pay the money to jump in front of someone else. The more money, the farther up in line you go. Been there.
