ohhhh yaaaazzzzzz the tuning will be a big cost factor as the obx style runner will need lots more tip in fuel

lee, sorry to hi jack we really should start another thread

thanks for the pics, that setup just needs to "lay down" just a bit so we can get it under the hood

I'm noit wanting to go to the toledo but that for sure would be an option

the obx is only like 1400 or so On the bay, a good fabricator should be able to update the base with sheet alum for about 20-30 hours roughly

if I build it out of plywood (no I'm not joking) I can mock it up and we can scan it not sure what a "print in the cloud" will cost but there are many companies that offer the service and having a mocked up part that they know will fit should be fine

Honestly I think a fabbed up thick sheet alum base will end up being the best approach but it will be more expensive to fab up

I'm hoping a high temp plastic media comes out for 3d printers as that would be ideal. a phenolic resin is very strong and head resistant and would keep the inlet air nice and cool

phase II of course is the boxing of the end of the runners for a pair of hair dryers then I think I'll be done

now I just need the $$$

I'm selling a 68 vette which should get me there!
