Nick I appreciate the kind words... you will know within the hour of when we have a useable unit. I would love to see what you and vinny and the guys think of it... we can make whatever changes you guys desire to put this unit on your street car!
BTW I would still like to see under the plenum of that wilson one on your race car! Brandon and I have been dieing to see if it looks anythink like ours under there! If you have any pics you want to share, shoot them to me at fstasfq@hotmail.com
Talk to ya soon Nick.

We have almost all the machining of the flanges and the lower peice done. We had started fabricating the top part, but The person that was helping us has become unavailable. We are looking at other avenues at the moment to get it done quicker. Unfortunatly I am not the greatest welder, only because of lake of experience. I will be bringing my good camera to work by the end of the week to take some better pics and hopfully we will have made some more progress.
Thanks for the bump

We made some good progress this evening. Finished up some more of the machining fixtures. I should be able to completly finish the bottom by this weekend. Now I just need to make some fixtures to set the locations for welding the top together (stock throttle body flange location and hood hight limitations). We will keep you guys posted as we make progress.

We made some more progress this weekend. Completly finished the bottom. Also dropped the the top of to be completed. Should be completly finished and tested in the next couple of weeks. I will let Phunk (Charles) go into more detail.

Hmm... not much I have to say about it.
Hope everyone is ready for an intake manifold like this. Like camshafts, a properly designed intake manifold can compliment other modifications and reform the powerband. Using this intake manifold with the correct camshafts and RPM is going to bring a new dimension of useable power to the VQ35DE. What we have built here is no joke... we will see if the VQ community is ready for it.
of course, dyno charts will be posted as soon as possible. The first car that this will be really tested on is a local NA 350z. While the manifold was designed entirely with higher HP and higher RPM forced induction applications in mind... we really just want to see what it does on a NA car. So the local car is a 292rwhp NA dynojet car... I have some ideas but we will see how it goes.

NA cars are much more sensitive to runner length and shape tuning. According to some math, this manifold should harmonically peak somewhere between 8500-9000rpm. Of course there are other things that effect this. So the question I have in my own head is.... at what RPM will this manifold begin to start kicking in the gains on a NA car? The earlier the better! Cause at this point in time, not many guys are going past 7100-7200rpm.
There is only one way to find out, which is why we are going to test it on a car that is a very good canidate. This local NA car has camshafts and other mods. We will be testing it in comparison to his existing rev-up lower mani.

Brandon wrote the CAD program for this... he probably spent 60 hours on that... doing it over and over until it was just right. Spent probably another 40 hours on getting the CNC programs written and the fixtures built.
But now that its all done, we should be able to accomodate any orders.
After we see the results we want on the dyno, it will go straight into the casting process. However, while waiting for the cast version to be done, we will see be able to build the CNC version for anyone who needs something ASAP.

I'll take one if you can have it done in 3-4 weeks before my next tuning date. I'm on the totally other extreme of an N/A car - PM for details and pricing - we're targeting 800+whp with the new setup.
I have the Crawford on now, and could give a direct back to back test...
