Bruce, I was'nt emplying your billet unit was going to be 150 bucks, or even close to that!! hee hee, Its a hand crafted nice piece of Engineering work, that I respect!
I understand your Billet version has nothing to do with an original TB!!
What I was getting at was, I'm interested in your "final" results and price as compared to Hughes "final" results and price as it relates to flow numbers and performance alone.(to much flow could be a bad thing). Looks aside, I'm interested in hp bang for the buck.
BTW, Hughes has'nt bored the 68 TB yet, only honed and polished! There's a little Aluminum left in those walls!!
Thanks Bruce!

<< 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!

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!
