Wow! Really looks good Jay, nice job on the blower blower mount. I know it is a tunnel port and not a high riser, but... "tall and terrible", seems to fit here. What car is it going in?

Outstanding work Jay, as always. Now you have specks and pattern for maybe doing future blower  tops for your intakes. Any more progress on the standard adapter intakes ?

Thanks Bob, I'm actually trying to keep these things affordable, for a while at least.  Depending on material cost, which varies between tunnel port, medium riser, and high riser intakes, the intake ranges from $1400 to $1600.  Interestingly enough, the tunnel port intakes are the least expensive because the basic material cost is lowest.  I had to charge my customer a little extra for the blower plate.  Add the intake adapter, and that's still a lot less than a Hogan intake  :D

I forget what car its going in, but its going to be a 60s style blown vehicle with traditional hat injection for the blower, but converted to EFI if I recall correctly.  Sounds like a very cool project...

In fact Keith I am machining the first one right now.  I'm trying to have it ready to display at the PRI show in a few weeks.

All these really cool intakes being made, and nobody wants to share their builds. Bummer :(

Hopefully Jay, you'll have one of those in your booth at Indy.  I'll get to feast my eyes on it Saturday  ;D
