I've lost quite a bit this go round, but that isn't anyone else's fault. Just part of trying to make something for the community (and myself) that makes power, looks nice, and most of all can beat the bigger companies at their game.
I can't say anything about price because I haven't gotten the setup to work yet (reasons why I believe are understood currently), but no one will pay a dollar to cover my various prototypes or tooling I purchased to help fabricate the intakes. That's as fair as I or anyone else could make it. The clearances for an intake setup on this car are extremely tight, and the under hood layout is not conducive to an intake setup without a lot of welding involved. But, it CAN be done, I've had some level of success and BB has had a great deal of success after a large number of revisions/attempts. But the point needs to be made, without interest I'm content with making a one-off setup, as the costs to manufacture anything in the continental US are ridiculous. So, I hope we find that there is a serious market for an intake setup for the N63 and N63TU, and in a lot of ways better than the exhaust setup that combat put a crap-load of effort and time into (his efforts really were a huge help to our community). I can't drop thousands on upgrades, like a lot of people, so that is the first thing in my mind moving forward...if it can balance cost with is it worthwhile to build. I think we are getting close to something functional that we would be proud to pop the hood to show off. On top of that, all prototypes thus far have a sound that is amazing.

In today's humid weather car just keeps pulling the extra cooler air is helping a lot once car is in boost, looks like adaptation is finalizing.
So far what i see, more responsive, smoother shifting, pulls harder. I took scott135 for a spin last night he also confirmed my findings. It feels similar to how the car felt after BMS stage 1

Did some inside intake temperature measurements it's 2-4 degrees above ambient... now need to see what a stock intake stays at.
