Well, now you guys have gone and made me do it.... I just sent the drawings to Mark
Sedickas in Wa. to weld up an inconel exhaust manifold for the ported 12a...

He will make one of his famous tangential collector tubes and then I will clamp a
Stainless Steel flexpipe to the rest of the existing system.

The drawings went in today's mail... we'll time the return of the finished product
to detemine his proficiency... BTW, he does this on his off hours!!!!

On another interesting note, he is wanting to experiment with putting some "vortex
generator vanes" inside the tangent pipe to disrupt the swirling and effect a
faster educt into the rest of the system.  I am looking forward to seeing how this
will turn out!!!

I'll keep you informed regarding the progress, costs, and performances!!
