i showed a machine shop some pictures of an air ram to see if he could make one....
and he told me if i could get some exact dimensions he could make a cad and make these.

only catch is unless six or more are made the price for making just one would be astronomical.

But for six or more price would be around 400.

The more people that confirm they will order the cheaper it will be.

First i will need specs, and interest.
i am willing to front the money to get it started, but i m looking for people with money not dreamers.

You bet your azz I'm interested. What do you need for specs? Maybe (hopefully) someone on the site that has one will share what you need.

You will have to buy one if you want to get it right. That is what you call an investment. If you can come up with a steady source of knock-off airrams, you will have a steady stream of customers IF the quality and price are both good. $400 right now is probably not too bad.

good luck....

this has only been tried like 10,000,000 times before, all ended in failure.

but...if you can front roughly the 2400 you need, and they are good in the end, you will sell them.

IMO you would be better off getting your STOCK manifold ported and polished

Yes, we could help him out, and we are helping him out. It's pretty much a lost cause.

The YOUNGEST of the beta 1 engines is what, 8 years old now? Less and less folks are tuning them, so less and less are buying parts ffor them. Instead of getting his heart broken, it's better to inform him that this has been attempted at least 10 to 15 times here, all ending with fights, lost parts, lost money, and no product.

I would love to see this progress into a real product for once. At one point there will be no more airram, and well have to find something
