Hey Everybody,
What is a minimum thickness of the roof of the runner of an aluminum intake from china? Both in small areas and most of the runner? Thanks Again, Craig |

Why would you buy a copy of a quality American product? They steal our ideas and sell them cheap thanks to their slave labor. ![]()

Got a friend who runs a business restoring 67 Corvettes. 67's only.
He takes small block cars and does a retro to the 427/435 hp cars. Well, the 435 cars have a tri-power setup on them. He tried a Chinese made intake because the oem intakes are hard to find and very expensive. It took four Chinese intakes and going back through the motor because of a bad intake before he came across a good. JUNK nothing but JUNK. |

This is the kind of thing that is KILLING this country!
All the darn junk, knock-off, china, crap, imports should have a 30% tariff tax on them in the first place. They should also be charged $100,000 additional unloading fee/or (tax) (per container) at the dock when the ship shows up at the dock JUST TO UNLOAD! (CHINA IS OUR ENEMY! not our friend!) After all...the US government doesn't mind charging you and I, A LITTLE BIT extra every now and again. That might be one thing to get our country back on track. At least it couldn't hurt. WAKE UP !!! BUY AMERICAN WHEN YOU CAN!!! Glen DeMENGE OK I'm done venting now... ![]() BTW If you need to ask if the intake is thick enough.......it isn't!! ![]() Last edited by MEXJOE; 09-16-2011 at 10:18 AM. |

Hey Everybody,
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH ALL OF YOU ABOUT THE CHINA SLAVE LABOR issues - USA PRODUCTS!!! I am an old bracket racer - had some very tough times for about 13 years. I have been out of racing for about 20 years. I race Pontiac motors and had a ONE OFF dominator carb manifold built that would be low enough for the filter to fit under the hood. More like a stock eliminator / fast class looking car - '72 GTO. I was very disappointed that the builder / porter chose a china product (Hurricane Professional Products with a "1 spacer) - I was hoping that it would be an older HSD - USA made. I still think very highly of and recommend him often. Matching the intake properly meant that the correct radius and entry to the head made a certain place in the top of the casting very thin. After the fact - I am trying to get the top of the runners built up - welded in one certain spot on the top of each runner about "1 wide. I do realize that I am not the typical racer on this board with regards to Money and Tme, I just know that you guys have a great wealth of knowledge and experience with building, modifying and pushing the limits of materials. I appreciate your willingness to help and would look forward to meeting some of you in the future - perhaps at some NHRA event. Thanks Again, Craig Last edited by CraigG; 09-16-2011 at 10:44 PM.
