Absolutly nothing shocks or embarases me but we are getting into real virgin underbelly fraternity house personality deveopment. I'm guilty of particapating in it's growth on my own thread. I'm going to go back and see if I can edit some of my entry so as not to be on the record here.
L&L and RG did it. :p
Fred, I ment your working your *** off in the RE market making alot of money so you can later in life relax and have some fun with your toys. It was ment in a good way, not negative. Just using the same road as he did.
Aoshi, I didn't need the reference, it was a joke. I helped write that book.
I also helped develop cast iron.

Now that Racing Beat is going to release their intake, I figured I'd invest in one. I'm also figuring that Richard Paul will come out soon with his SC. Now the question is am I waisting my money on the RB intake? Will it be superceeded by something from RP and the SC?
Yes it does look like we need the space where the air box goes. The aircleaner will have to go someplace else. When supercharged these intake systems become unnessasary and ineffective. I think that RB is going to include a new MAF with their kit. That might be a good thing as they must know something we do not, to go through all that trouble. All the talk about the srtock one causing the various power deltas experianced by 8 owners.
I have no real knowlage of these things, just repeating what has been reported here. We will be doing no testing of stock or aftermarket intakes. Our only concern will be with our own final results. If we find a new MAF is of value then we will make a determination as to the value vs cost at that time.
There needs to be some undisturbed air both before and after the MAF so room becomes a premium. That room has to come from the airbox. Another design airbox may be needed so as to fit someplace else for intake sound reasons.
We don't know yet how much noise an intake will make on the other side of the SC.

let me see if i have this straight. please richard correct me where i go wrong.
in the above photo the "front" of your sc is where ther pulley is at the top of that pic. the rectangular opening is the air outlet. the "front" of your sc would face aft in the car. air would go in from the "bottom" in this pic and out the rectangular opening correct?
in this pic:
we are seeing the "rear" of your afs but it is the air inlet and would face forward in the car. there would be some type of flange attached to it which would then be attached to the mafs tube by probably a neoprene sleve and and clamps yes? you're going to draw thru the mafs, right?

Yes, RG has it right.
Didn't I read in the last update by RB that they were getting delivery of the MAF from a vender? Maybe I mis-read it.
Wait not to long my freinds I will get something to feed your hungry minds soon.

I saw an eaton setup for the LS1 engine, and to keep the inlet at the front, near the normal TB position, they mounted the S/C "backwards" with the pulley to the rear, and had a lay-shaft run the length of the S/C!

A layshaft, very British.
Hymee what is the extra TB on the rear of your blower? I take it the stock one is mounted more toward the center of the engine then there is a billet unit that seems to be diaphram operated???

In case you didn't get the hint, I found a car. All the hagaling and paper works not done yet but it looks close. I'm gona pay him his price if I have to 'cause I really want it. I like yellow and it's yellow. Has 6200 miles on it. 3 months old, guys getting a divorce. Fully virgin car, still has paper plate on it.
And they stoped making yellow, right. So it's rare, yes. I have no shifter to put in it, all out again!!!
Also bought a big drive for a new blower dyno, I'll get some pics. This thing was a hell of a find, a real 100% duty cycle unit. It has 20 hp with vari drive, two spindle out put, the high speed one goes 5000-11000 rpm. All in one big cast iron base, 1400lbs. The gearbox even has water jackets for coolant. I'll just build some brackets on it to test blowers. To bad your so far away Hymee or i'd let you borrow it. Be real interesting to see the difference between the two blowrs on the same test rig.
Do I sound excited??? Lots of projects now. Most of all Got to get myself a shifter built real quickly.
OOps! did I in my excitment hyjack your thread Taka? I'm sorry but I had to tell someone.

It is good isn't it? A race off between Hymee blower and AFE blower on the track. I will be the photographer on the day no doubt. I DO do good picture. Or at least I can get a pro to go there (he is a car nut too).
How exciting if RP is racing with Hymee LOL :D

So then the yellow is rare then? Is that why they dropped it, 'cause no one but L&L and myself wanted one? I know I don't see to many around here. The bad news is that the cops see it better. I've had a yellow 308 Ferrari and two yellow Corvettes. The Ferrari and the '81 Vette were really exceptionally good ones. I kept the 308 for 9 years and the Vette for 8 years. I gave the Vette to my oldest son for a wedding gift. The other yellow vette was just OK it was a '91. Vettes are good or bad and I've had an equal amount of each. 4 and 4. Actually that's debatable it might be 5 and 3, the good being 3.
So I think the yellow is lucky. Also I had a drag boat in yellow. A 1970 Hondo. That was a good boat, converted it over to a ski boat and still have it. Unfortunatly it needs full restoration now.
It also attracts bees, not to much problem in a car but in a boat it is, because your out in the wild sitting on shore of a lake. Don't know why that is but it is true.
Thanks guys, Richard
PS This means I'm official?
