Have the Racing Beat aluminum housings been discussed?  Is anyone
using them?  It seems like they aren't a bad value for the amount of weight
saved.  A weight reduction of almost 35lbs on the hot side of the firewall
for about $4000 isn't bad.  Especially when you consider that you don't
have to find good iron pieces.

Any concerns I am missing?

Off and on Matt for the last six years :) Well nothing first hand. Some second hand
stuff. They are rather expensive.

IMHO they would be more durable if they were coated by the detonation gun
method. You can read more about that using google.
