The title says it all..
We don't have any bone stock cars here and I have been working on a new throttle body that bolts directly to a non modified L jet or D jet plenum.. I'd only need the car for an afternoon, so hopefully someone in Atlanta or the surrounding areas can hep us gather some data on my chassis dyno.. The engine must be in a good state of tune, not worn out and not filled with "bugs" and issues.. We need a solid before and after comparative to polish off this developoment and get it on the market with known results. We have the bigger engines covered and don't need any test cars for those. A 100.00 Gift Certificate from my store will be awarded to the two people that help us out... Wait till you see this... Up to a 48mm taper bored throttle body that bolts right on in about 20 minutes! |

I have had zero time and now that the fall season is here I have even less time... We have SCCA races, land speed races, Georgia football and car shows through November every weekend..
Finding the right car, available at the right time was proving to be difficult.. I am positive that it'll work really well, just need to get the data to support that. All the parts to make them work are already made... I just don't believe the demand will be high enough for it to ever pan out. |

I just don't believe the demand will be high enough for it to ever pan out. I know this is probably premature, but do you have any target range for the sales price you would have to charge for this unit? Depending upon price, I might be interested, even to the point of prepaying so that you can gauge actual sales interest. My thanks. Eric Read |
