Anyone remember who made this version of runners?

Anyone remember who made this version of runners? Who would have any info or links on them? I thought they might be early SLP or maybe GM experimental? My Brian says it was GM, but that maybe SLP helped them make it for the proposed 25th anniversary car that was never made or the Firehawks before they made the T ram?

Re: Anyone remember who made this version of runners?

Solved: They were the ones cast by Ed Hamburger (SLP) for the Z4F option 25th anniversary cars that were never made. Who would be interested in a reproduction set? For like $350?

Re: Anyone remember who made this version of runners?

Cool I guess. But doesn't really address the rest of the intake. Why bother when you can get this and solve all the problems at once:

Re: Anyone remember who made this version of runners?

There's another member on here who was talking to the guy who actually cast those parts and was talking about reproduction not too long ago.

Solves most problems, but can create others. Also most people already know about the First intake but are more interested in just runners alone. If they weren’t there wouldn’t be such hea solve most problems, most people already know about this better more interested in just runners alone. If they weren’t there wouldn’t be such heavy bidding on eBay for them when they show up. Some people just want to keep on their other parts and use their original throttlebody. I’m one of them. I will likely also use a different base. One that I will port myself. Otherwise absolutely this is not nearly as ideal as the first fuel injection intake you linked.

Re: Anyone remember who made this version of runners?

I'd buy a set, just to see what they can do. And at $350.00 it would beat the other options available out there. People are asking a lot of money for old Accel's and SLP's even.

Re: Anyone remember who made this version of runners?

I would 100% be in for a set at 350. ****, I'd pay up to $500 if they were an exact match to those GM runners.

I'd definitely be in for a set at that price also.

Re: Anyone remember who made this version of runners?

I would cast a set after the welded and ported TPI runners Dyno Don and crew are using. If you can also get an updated lower TPI base that flows like the welded and ported base Dyno Don and crew have been using, I'd really be interested in that. Without a good flowing base, you don't really take full advantage of such runners

Just curious- what are the chances this comes to fruition?

Re: Anyone remember who made this version of runners?

I don't know now. I haven't talked to him in a while. He got mad at me on facebook and unfriended me. There is a chance that the Chinese casting guys would jump at this if they just knew what we would pay for them. They have no idea there is a niche market for them. I would prefer a US producer. But I don't know if any are interested.

Re: Anyone remember who made this version of runners?

Are they cast yet? I need to pull my intake, so when it goes back together, I'd add them. Thanks.
