Custom 3.5 IM for sale

Well this past few months has been pretty bad and I'm strapped for cash to the point that this IM needs to go. It has easily 100+ hours of work into it and is not easy to let go.

Build thread with pictures: http://forums.maxima.org/all-motor/6...yno-gains.html

dyno thread with results: http://forums.maxima.org/dyno-discus...ideo-pics.html

It was hard to choose how much to ask for this as I of course don't want to sell it, but I believe it to be a fair price for all the work that went into it.

Looking for 750 picked up or 850 shipped OBO. Prefer cash or money order, but will accept paypal. Don't bother lowballing.

edit: Just to clarify, this IM will bolt right up to your stock LIM and stock throttle body. You will have to move some brake lines on the firewall aside (takes 1-2 minutes with simple tools and some zip ties), but otherwise fits perfectly in the stock location. It maintains stock vacuum lines. I would also recommend you have engine mounts or NWP torque link since the elbow comes close to the firewall.

Bump for crackhead pricing on an IM that actually makes power.

Tried looking around, but I couldn't find anything. Is there anywhere you could buy one of these, but prefab from a factory? Produced by a name brand company I mean.

Kinetix is closest in design to this (not really 'like' Sparks' design but closest to it)...Kinetix is also not Sparks-tested & certified with Dyno #s to prove it actually makes power.
Oh and Kinetix is more expensive.

It's more than that, he theorized, researched, proved it in theory, and then executed his research through actual proof through dynos and track times.

I need to dyno my current 3.5" intake set-up and then this set-up with the same 3.5" inatake set-up. This could be fun.

This sort of opens up the, I guess you can say, ceiling for my modding plans. Cams seem like an easier to digest option now.

It's kind of daunting when I try to count up how many hours I spent on the research, theory, and math of the whole thing... not even counting the construction. I know Nmex will make great use of it, but i hate to see it go.

I would have loved to have this, but you sold it to the right person sparks. Hopefully you'll find a way to make more of these one day.

I know what you are saying NmexMAX. I have BC 264's sitting here but I can't stomach the install price. And those new 5.0 Mustangs are calling my name. Especially the Boss.
