None fast enough!
Sorry for the little lapse. I have been out of the office a lot lately, so I have not had the chance to update the thread much. Manufacturing has begun, and got off to a rocky start with a few key bits on the machine breaking! =( We are back at full speed and I will share a quick video and image. We are not sharing anything more detailed until the parts are complete.

Video of the machining process

Here is an image of the logo plate:


Thanks for all the support!

We are getting close to having them actually on the car and running!









Obviously these are just sitting on the stock airbox for now (on a microfiber), but this shows the size and location nicely.

Thanks

Negative, I'm going with a whole new engine build and scraping my VRP 5.7L bottom-end. I just purchased a used 55K but won't be ready for the top mounted coolers for a few months until my new bottom end is built.

Evosport has had them on a car for a few months now. One would think they would post their current finding by now..
