Greg, currently it's a work in progress, once I get the design to where I think it has leg's I'll post more info. It will be a wrap over design w/ the trottle body/carb on the plug side.
Last I'd heard Mistral was selling [when they did] their intakes for ~$800. If you built an engine for less than that.. please dish :D It's not cheap but then investment castings and machining etc.. generally aren't..
We'll see how it goes..
