Lol

Doing this on my IPhone as it’s hard to see. Now I see it 👍

Just started needing reading glasses too lol.

Made it to 50 without needing reading glasses so can’t complain about my eyes

Pricing with their fuel pressure regulator puts it at approximately 3000.00$ Canadian against the Pound.

I don't know how much longer Tom's gonna put up with all this jibber-jabber. ;)

I have a minor change to the intake manifold ports to keep the airflow stuck to the floor.

At some point here I will also need to get a 16V head.
I currently have 5 two valve heads. One of which I have to do some minor repair from when my 3.0L detonated back in 2016.

So what's your direction, Gruhsy? 2V, 4V, ITB's, single TB, turbo plenum?
Will Fidelity be able to scan the intake? Will I be able to tweak the port?
Has anyone else contacted you about a system to help share costs?

Direction…..going around in circles spinning tires lately.

I need to confirm with Joe on Friday what parts he has made so far. Lots of little things done. He has given my various tasks to his machinist when they are slow and for training.

One of the new Makino machines was going to be used to make the runners you gave me.
Not sure if done yet.
Going to take an 8v head and stock intake in to scan and design the ITB runners for it.
Fidelity can scan any of the parts.

I will try to remember to take pics and post the various machines etc they have.

Definitely can tweak the port👍

No one has contacted yet but really the only cost to get things done is buying the ITB/ITB’s.

Joe’s work he isn’t concerned about money as he is helping out and once finally done then would look at just covering his cost. He doesn’t need to make money on this.

Getting a much better understanding of the ATPower ITB’s now too.

The single throttle is easiest for me to purchase right now.

ITB’s will be in the new year.

Sorry, my brain skimmed right over 'two' -- and started day dreaming about 5 valve heads. :)
