Drew, when I tried to take a photo from my library I got an error message. When I used the “take a photo “ option then it worked. That is how you can see my foot.

This was a test picture using Postimage on my iPhone. I will assume you know how to get the image copied to your phone. To paste it to the forum, tap the screen to get the curser blinking then hold your finger on the cursor until you see a bubble then lift your finger. You should now see a selection to to paste . Tap paste and your good to go.

"However, since 1981, none of the bauxite mined in the US was used to make metallic aluminium. US bauxite is instead used for abrasives, high-temperature refractory materials, and as a high-strength proppant for hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells."

Hi Drew, Yes I have used this quit a bit last spring and early summer. It works fine and I am completly happy with it. There is a little bug in the software that comes up once in a while that I can quickly fix. There may be a software update for it but I have not been to the PTS site in a while. Also Bruce at PTS is very helpful working out any problems you may have when building it. I will be using it again come January. Here are a few pictures from mine.

Here is a Medium riser head with no porting and the original hollow stem intake valve at .600 lift



here is the same head with a unported 427 manifold attached to it.



Here is the CHI 3V single plane manifold I am now running



The CHI 3v duel plane



and finally my RPM/Dove air gap duel plane which has a flow average of 350.

I am not sure how well it is going to work for you but in the looks department, it's a 10.

I have often wondered what kind of flow restriction there were with the air filters that I have put on my engine over the years. I decided to give them a flow test on my flow bench.
I used my 950 quick fuel carb. for testing the filters. I can only pull 28" of depression on two of the barrels at a time so I did one primary and one secondary and plugged the other two barrels.
I also covered half of the air filter so I ended up with half a carb and half a filter for testing. All of the bases, tops and filters are K&N except for the 2 inch paper filter witch was a Aflotech filter that I happen to have.
The carb flows 590 cfm at 28" with two barrels and no air filter. The biggest thing I noticed is sometimes the x-stream top works well and sometimes not.

Made one change to the 3in drop after retesting

here is another shot.

Jay, the software was made by Bruce at PTS. It comes with the equipment he sells. My impression is that it works very well. The only problem with it was that it came to you by downloading four files. The main program, a patch, a upgrade, and finally another patch if I remember right. Then one more program to move what was just installed into the x86 program file.

Drew, I bought all the bells a whistles he sold which came to about $1200. You could save about $600 if you controlled the motors individually and manually. I have eight motors at about $100 each. You could start off with four motors and add more later if needed. To build the box took three 4x8 sheets of boards. Then there was all the miscellaneous things like wire, screws etc. I think if you thought it threw there could be a lot more ways to save. One more thing. He charges $50 for the plans to build it. He gives you the basics for building a flowbenh which you can modify to your needs.
