Message :I don't agree about negative future development.

That is because you're misinformed

:MattZ just revealed for the first time to the public his new top-feed fuel rails at the ZCon car show. I believe he said he has a few other ideas on the horizon.

That's great, but there is little tooling involved, unlike with manifolds. Not much risk there.

:Stating that other companies have shelved future development for reasons of possible duplication sounds like they may not be that solid of a company to begin with. If MattZ can do it, I'm sure other's can as well.

Again, you're misinformed. There is little tooling cost involved with his fuel rail setup. I'd like to see Matt design and produce a manifold that is actually different from all of the knockoffs currently on the market. It seems the small companies lack the capital to do it right, yet the larger companies (AMS) that have the capital lack the initiative. It is much cheaper to reverse engineer than to start from scratch, after all.

:Why the mystery of not mentioning these other companies?

I mentioned one of them (SPL). This has already been mentioned on the forum. If you search my post history, you can probably figure out the other one.

Why don't you sit on your hands and let Vuk respond? I'm not really interested in what you have to say.
