We have been pricing out a few different arms lately. We haven't found one that really meets what we are looking for. We did how-ever move forward with a laser scanner, which is not installed yet. The laser scanner benefits outweigh the our needs for an arm how-ever, considering the speed of inspection.

Thanks,

Very true if your doing a lot more design/reverse engineering. Our sister company has one, very very useful. 3D printer/rapid prototype...I just cant get them to purchase one for some reason.

Could be the price

Update for every-one, project has been put off a day or two while we catch up on some things. Very busy at the moment, and we of course appreciate every-ones patience!

Thanks,

How far out would you say a production piece is? I'm a week or two away from ordering an intake, but I would have to order the Hi ram and then modify it a lot. So if you said 1-2 months I could probably live with that. PM me if you'd like, Im not going to hold you to a date like its set in stone. I know how this process goes all to well

still holding my breath!

I wish I could commit to a 1-2 month time table, but for all the testing we have planned, that is unrealistic. Our first part will be designed in the sense where we can mix and match different parts to make sure we product the best possible intake manifold.

Also, we want to make sure its aesthetically pleasing. We will keep all posted when we have more major updates.

Thanks,

I haven't made any moves either. I have a FAST 90 right now, and don't plan on swapping it till I see something that is worth it.

We have a FARO arm that we use at work. It is an awesome piece of equipment.

In for the finished product. I might change from my ported 92 to a high rise style intake for the turbo build.

Sierra Speed Shop

We appreciate the anticipation!

We are working hard to ensure it is the best alternative bolt on intake manifold on the market. We want to be sure to work out any kinks prior to release.

Thanks,

FARO Arm is still not out of the equation. There is a good chance that, or similar equipment will be used.

We believe that our high rise intake would be an excellent option for your turbo build. We anticipate having an update today as we button up final measurements. Unfortunately this project has been pushed back a small amount for other projects, but will soon resume to normal product development.

Thanks,

I picked up a cheap used PP 96mm intake for the time being...and a used LS2 to port. Will wait to spend real (more than $500) money on this.

The FARO is great for inspection purposes, especially on production pieces that you can mount in a jig, select some points on the part, you immediately see on screen pass or fail, and then slap the next part on the jig and do it again. For reverse engineering though, its not the best, the scanner you have is, but the faro can quickly pull planes and points in to a cad file if needed.

is it possible your future ls3 variant will fit on a c5z06 with a cowl hood ?

Sierra Speed Shop

It is very likely.

have any kind of sneak peak that we can look at?


maybe look like this!! :bling:

Sierra Speed Shop

Considering the entire intake right now is being digitally designed, there is no physical pictures we can show you. In fact, whats on the computer is a bunch of non-sense unless your use to plotted points with 3D software.

We might post a picture here soon.

For the bling bling factor, we are going to have a nice looking piece, but we are also trying to ensure we don't blow out the price point. Hell, we could do a fully billet machined piece, but then you're looking at a $5000 intake opposed to about $800-1200. Most of the intakes on the market that have that appearance are priced realistically. Billet is not cheap!

We are fortunate to have the facilities available to manufacture such an item at a fair price. We are working Hard to balance this project as well as the others we are making.

Thanks,
Kyle
