i opted for uncoated because i work in aerospace and have some wicked good coatings that are for my eyes only... we have been looking at developing a less cost intensive coating process for automotive tho.. which i am testing with this manifold.
 
Sorry guys... my buddy rolled our golf cart sunday and I got pretty banged up from it. Was out of commission monday, and spent all day yesterday catching up on stuff. My car is almost ready... fuel stuff is all set... just need to find one more connector and I can wire these up. Already have the MPI wire ran to the bay so it's really simple as soon as I find this connector.

All of the unfinished manifolds are back over at Kelly's. Wes is going to be finishing them up on shop time instead of after hours... the other welder here just wasn't producing quick enough for us, and the work he was doing ended up needing a lot of extra TLC to get it up to my standards.

I have 6 here ready for coating. 4 more need fuel rail mounts and flycutting, and those are top priority right now. Once I have those I will make the first drop at the coater. The rest are tacked and ready for final stitching/grinding, and flycutting. As soon as Wes gets to my spot in line it will be a matter of a few days before ALL of those are done and ready for coating.

Longest GB on Earth award goes to Rich.


Good to see this finally coming together for you guys.
 
Rich! What's going on with mine, is it ready to ship now? I've got your order with us pretty much wrapped up as well. Let me know.
 
Finally found that damn clip over the weekend, so I can wrap up everything on my car today. Still planning to dyno this week.

Caker - I can ship yours tomorrow.

Disco - lol.

jbamin - Yours is the first manifold with EGR. It will go out a week or two before the others, hopefully here in the next couple weeks.

lemondrops - Thank you sir. We should be all done here in the next few weeks.
 
That engine bay pick looks better then what i thought it was going to be wow you do good work my friend. my thoughts are on how the idle is going to act.
 
505- you can pretty much ship Ghostones straight to me, as i'm installing it. pm him before shipment, and he'll get you my address. You can confirm this with him. thanks.

This is correct and I have the address as soon as mine is ready to be shipped.

Car is fully up and rocking now. Shot a soundclip for those of you that were asking for it.

Swapping the stock manifold back on and will get an appointment for the baseline numbers tomorrow. Hopefully they aren't too busy this week. Next update will include dyno numbers with vids. (rockon)
