Quote from: TexasT on July 22 2018, 12:56:20 PMKeep up the good work. I'm looking forward to the write up on the Holley tuning classes. Surely you will be able to make money doing that to peoples cars. I would love to learn the Holley and look forward to any subjective write up on the software. However, I had a smart fella give me some good advice one time. If someone is paying, then they can tell you what to do. If you volunteer, then no one can say anything one way or the other because you did whatever you did for free. Of course, he was talking about doing stuff at church but I've found it applies in almost any situation. No making money for me when it comes to tuning.

"That is great for meeting the needs of a 1500+ horsepower engine in a race car. But what about meeting the requirements of the average Joe's sub-500hp street car? Do they need such a part, or just want it?"And this sums up the conundrum in a nutshell. Technology vs economics. The market for 1500 hp intercoolers is small. The technology may be a tour de force, but, what is the end game? Is the purpose to establish yourself as a player to be taken seriously? Or is the purpose to make money in the intercooler business using a "super" version to draw in the average guy for whom, just about any option will work but who wants to say he has the best even tho' it cannot be shown to really add performance to his machine?The real problem is that the Buick business is an over stocked gold fish pond. I would be focused on a much larger market
Vertical flow IC and completely obstructed by the bumper. https://www.cxracing.com/TRB-KIT-LS-TT-GBODY-IC At least the turbos are discharging at the top where there might be some air flow.
I am still lost. What is the end game here? Is this a business venture? Is this to demonstrate that theory shows a better way?
