New High flow lower manifold
I think it will be very interesting to see what the lsj could put out without the restrictions of the cylinder head and the intake manifold. The head from what I've read seems to be a real restriction. Both exhaust and intake could use a good port and polish. Fix that and the next biggest restriction aka the intake manifold and this supercharged setup might be able to make some power.
anyone sell a ported and polished cylinder head to go with this intake manifold when it comes out?

we have 12 people
just waiting on the confirmation of the last 2, 8 more and we order the prototyping parts.
Please remember that the first 20 will get the cost price, meaning what ever it costs us, it will cost you, no mark up

lol, no man...your 100, like mine...goes to the research and development of the product...in turn, we get the product, at cost...whatever it takes for them to make one. You dont get it at cost and then -100 off of that. It would be nice, but no.

I understood that the $100. is a down payment to make a formal commitment to actual follow through on buying once the manifolds are done.

That would cause me to say no way. Paying development cost isn't the way I read their original post. Nor is that the way to do business.

not calling you guys out...but I'd say...about 10 pages of this thread is seriously just about people being upset that they want or are asking for development costs. Its all in the thread.
But Then again, If I were you guys, I wouldn't want to read through countless pages of bs either! so there it is...

It clearly says deposit, not development fee and that trumps all the BS in this thread.

I was going to do the but the thing that put me off was when they told me if it never got off the ground I would not get my 100$. But cause they say it is a DEPOSIT I feal I should be garenteed that my money would come back to me if they never develop this product.

If companies could get away with this why work at all. Collect the money, say it didn't pan out and go to the next "idea".

^^ i agree, victory. It is the company who needs to take the risk in developing, not the potential customer. It shouldn't be a gamble at all -- either you can develop something OR NOT. My scam-radar is ringing loud and clear.

I would not agree to those conditions either. Deposit is just that a deposit. If they fail it is their fault. No wonder we have so many pages of bitching.

there starting with 2 cores and making new ones as the get core returns for completed product, so you wouldnt need a secound manifold
