Message	Well .......You guys need to thank Seb....He has been without his car more then with it.....We are using it for the test bed for the Manifolds, And the manifolds have not been cooperating!!! We have gone through 2 sets of prototypes and the stainless is not working with us...They are cracking. We are almost keeping up with ASH on pulling the motor and putting it back in :( Stainless is not going to work! They just get too hot!!!! We want to keep them hot to keep the exhaust velocity high, So since the Stainless will not hold up we are going straight to 625 Inconel, containing approximately 60% Nickel and 22% Chromium. Inconel was developed to cope with the extreme heat and strength demands of jet engines. So it should hold up to the Z32TT :) Just wanted everyone to know where we were at....We will still need to test them so it will be a little longer. When we do release them you will be getting a very high quality product I will be happy to stand behind. I also want to thank everyone for their interest and patronage. Greg Dupree
