Re: Bought Out A/O Engineering's Leftover Stock
 

I am extremely excited to bring this item to the marketplace.

The new "Air Blast Forced Air" product covers a wide range of Corvettes, 84-96. Manufactured correctly and priced competitively, this can be a win/win for all of us needing more forced air for our engines to breath and perform.

As it is with bringing to market any new product, the processes must run their course. Pattern making, model making and then prototyping takes a lot of effort and time to do it right. Not to mention money $$$$.

I'll keep everyone posted as the project progresses.

Probably a good time for an alternate thread?

Re: Bought Out A/O Engineering's Leftover Stock
 

If Jep wants to get the info out I will suggested that he starts a seperate thread. I will send him a PM. GC

Re: Bought Out A/O Engineering's Leftover Stock
 

That would probably get better results. I wouldn't mind getting one for myself....

Brett,

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to hijack your thread. Just got carried away. I beg your forgiveness, kind sir!!

Nooooooo!!!!!! That's not what I meant!!!!! I'm trying to wrap my head around this open air box thingy.......Do they still make it? Are they planning on continuing to make it? Could a ram air be connected to it and still give more air?:cheers:

Brett,

I replied to your PM, but here is the gist for everyone else:

What I have is a housing that is inverted. It mounts to the radiator shroud and attaches to the air duct in the same manner as stock. The kit included an air filter lid which had a scoop incorporated into it, a template to cut the stock radiator shroud and a seal to seal the housing to the shroud. The air filter and lid/scoop hangs down into the air stream feeding the radiator and forces the air into the housing. It sounds like exactly what Robert was inquiring about in post #4 of this thread.

Here are some pics:

Hope this helps.

When I spoke to Dan at API, he was very helpful, but stated that the unit is no longer in production. He is digging up whatever pieces that he still has left and will contact me soon. He is also willing to provide me with the installation instructions and template for cutting the radiator shroud.
