    Ya buddy, there ya go!! and thanks. I found out some real interesting stuff while playing with this system. The most important part is the Y and how the air streams collide and the lengh of the tubing plays a major roll in how well this aspect of the system works. Interesting stuff.

    On my car and my car alone. Starting at 5600, I went 1 PSI positive at WOT. I've been waiting for another 6.1 to monitor vacuum at WOT to see if that happens again. I have a theory as to why, I just can't prove it without spending some major coin.

    No worries Chase, I highly doubt these things will jump of the self anytime soon. They are the most expensive units out there and if I sold 20-30 of them I'd be amazed. After all, it is only meant for the best of the best motors, anything less is just spending money for the looks.

    Cool man. If I did buy one I'd want you to install it as you probably would take half the time as a shop not familiar with everything. What would you charge for an install?

    Also can these be done in aluminum? I know with my RDP they didn't powder the inside so when it gets humid the mild steel will rust the inside (happened to a buddy). I don't want rust in my intake tract. Also less weight might be nice vs. steel.

    You buy one Jeff and we'll work that out bud, can anyone say a giant bottle of Grey Goose, I knew you could :beerchug:.

    BTW, both Bob and Mark watched me install CV's unit. So they wouldn't have a hard time getting her done.

    These are mild steel because I can't tig to save my life. But I'm a mad man on a mig. The innerds will be barrier coated for your protection. I can get them mandrel bent in both Al and stainless, but the price goes way up. this was one of the stumbling blocks over the past several months. I keep meeting with shops that had the ability to complete the bending, but the price was unfreaking real unless I made a hundred at a time.

    The stainless is not as bad, but the waste factor adds up.

    BTW, if anyone would like to give me 80K for a mandrel bender, I'll glady make them a free intake system. :whistle:

    The first one, that'll be the poultry sum of 15K for the molds to be made. But after that and Chris's labor and material.....only 17 hundred.....hahaha.

    Awesome! Maybe in a couple months. I'm going to have to have some new mods for the fall drag race season. The car is paid off now and will be sitting in the garage as more of a track toy.

    Nice job Cam.
    Great to see that system released.
    Are you also thinking about working on the dual throttle body system?

    Ya, ya, get in line with the rest of the dudes I owe :p

    Whatta perve :whistle:

    Thanks and I have zero plans on the dual TB's. My set-up is totally different than what Inertia offers and is a royal PITA to tune. I would never put anyone through all the effort it has taken to make it work. The only reason I still run it verses a 90 is I have a great deal of time and money in the whole system and I just can't bring myself to walk away from it just yet.

    Thanks Steve!

    BTW, the first post is updated with another dyno and a couple testicalmonials.
