Ditching the casting... going full billet. This means some adjustment to the design to accommodate an alternate manufacturing method from originally intended. I just dont want to deal with the delays and control issues with casting. Too many friends in the industry having too many problems and delays dealing with casting... some having bailed out after investing several thousands. I will go full billet for now, and if its a success maybe then I will work on a refined casting.
Anything I would do would be billet... The horror stories from casting ughhh... that was part of GTM's problems with QC... The only down side is higher cost all around. Cant wait to see what you come up with.
