   Jay ,
     Sorry I didn't get by. I went looking for you not realizing you were in "the other" room. My "leash" was too short. LOL  I too saw lots of  great people . We went three spaces wide this year and were constantly swamped with customers and information seekers. It was a great show.

I wanted to go bad but got the flu on Friday morning leaving the house , left work early morning and felt crappy the rest of the weekend . My friend Flying Ryan Oehler had two of his Pro Stock Bikes there in somebody's booth too . Sure looks like it was a good time from the pics so thanks for sharing

Wow you have a wide variety of FE Power parts...really great things going on Jay!

I wish there was someone putting that kind of time and energy into the Ford 351 Windsor style engines as we are still lacking in the intake manifold area.
Plenty of cylinder heads and great big inch blocks but not much in the 2X4 intake area....tunnel rams!

I'm pretty sure the sixth picture in the opening post is really three cardboard cutouts of Jay, Freiburger and Finnegan.

LOL!  You promised you wouldn't tell anybody about that...  ;D

Jay -

Lots of good stuff!  I haven't seen Ray in several years.  Would love to catch up with him!  I do need to drag my butt out there for PRI next year.

Some really good looking stuff there, Jay. I don't know if I'll ever reach that level of sophistication in the FE world but it's encouraging to know the components are available.

Wow, very professional looking booth there. Pretty cool to get those guys attracted to your stuff. Did Kaase say anything about the design?

On that red intake, I sacrificed a bunch of plenum volume to get enough runner length and still fit under the hood. It's almost an IR manifold. It seemed to work very well and gained a ton over the factory C4AE-D High Riser intake. A friend of mine had a sheetmetal box made with huge plenum and short runners and it was terrible. It would fall on it's face launching at anything less then valve float RPM, mine will pull a wheelie letting the clutch out at idle. I think cutting the top of the plenum down 2" would help a bunch. Might need it in a car rather than a dyno to tell though.

SEMA is certainly in a warmer place, much bigger with a lot more happening and easier to get to but PRI has some great hardcore racing companies that you don't see anywhere else. Probably more than three quarters of the companies at PRI were at SEMA but they are just a small percentage of the total. Wish I could do both but December in Indianapolis is a tougher trip for me.

It's a weird world I live in, but in picture #2, what do you suppose the old guy is talking about in the background? Doesn't look good....

That's easy. He (long hair) was unhappy with the vendor's (short hair) answer that the only solution to the vibration he is having with his Harley, is to buy a Jap bike.
