    Last one sold.

    If I get 5 presales, I will have another run made.
    Same for the M20.

      You can add me to the list of future purchasers. My turbo car could use this. During the summer my IAT temps get pretty high. A 20 degree difference at the manifold would be very nice.

              yes I was looking for this thread the other day. I have some questions. My head is ported. Are the intake holes the same as a factory gasket?

                OK. Cool. It will take me a week or so to get it going. Check in with me around Wed. and I will see if I can come up with a shipping date by then.

                    Factory, but you could port it out easy-cheesy.

                          OK, so I have good news and bad news. Between me totally forgetting what I paid to have these cut last time and the actual cost of both the material and the cutting going up, I can't sell these at $50 anymore and really shouldn't have the first time. So to the first group of buyers.... consider yourself lucky.

                          For you new group of guys, here's the skinny. I am going to need payments up front of $100 for the kit which will now include locator dowels.

                          I am also going to need at least 4 people to prepay in order to afford this run.

                          The good news is, the turn around time is down to 5 days once I place the order.

                          If you want to send payment now, send to j@bigfishmotorsports.
                          If I can't get enough prepays in one week's time, I will contact everyone and you can decide to have your money refunded or stay in the game. And I will check in every week thereafter to make sure you guys want to stay in or just want your cash back.

                          Thoughts? Suggestions?

                            Was not expecting the price to double.

                            I'm still interested, but would rather have more firm commitments for the group buy. Paying upfront with hopes that others will too doesnt work for me. If its a go for sure, then I'll Paypal no prob.

                              i also did not expect the price to double and there were a few guys in the beginning if the thread that missed the first round maybe they are still interested in this. im curious about how the spacer affects the fuel injection spray. are there any pics of this spacer installed? might still be interested if there is the minimum 5 required.

                                To be clear, I didn't expect the price to double either. I honestly sold those one at a loss before without knowing. I just had them left over from my project and $50 seemed like a fair price to unload them. I'm not trying to get over on anyone. It's justthe reality of the situation.
                                My fear with promised group buys is that not everyone that days they will buy will actually pay. Them I'm left holding the bag.
                                As for the fuel spray, it won't effect it at all. The drafting effe t co
                                ing across the injector tip is so severe in that area that the fuel turns nearly sideways immediately. If anyhing, it gives it 10mm more travel time to atomize.
