Matt,
Im going to be more expensive than $150.00 thats for sure! 750cfm is aVERY
conservative number for the 69mm billet....Well see what the bench says once
I get the first one finished! Theres no way I can compete on a cost basis
re: ported TB vs new Billet TB...Ive got to make it up in performance,
looks, and getting more than a ported TB can get (and showing that it works
better due to that...) Those walls on the Hughes unit must be getting mighty
thin!
Bruce

> Thanks Bruce, for clarifying! Yesterday, Hughes had the 68mm TB up to
712cfm+-, and they were still working on it. It sounds like if you need that
extra 5-10% flow increase, your billet TB is the way to go!
