My previous experience with a T3 adapter




solution... slotted bolt holes with jackscrews

20V has problems of its own... and besides it is easy enough to make a 16V, especially a smallport, make similar power on similar specs .


As far as welding and completely new custom manifold... I have yet to add any material to any head I've worked.

I understand that Hasslegren adds (welds in) extra metal into the area of the stock injector ports, I know Loynings has figured out a way to significantly raise the ports with out welding. In both of these cases this is for professional racing, and so INVE$MENT is part of every last horsepower.

The 4AGE is a GREAT example of INVE$MENT... when Toyota was running the series they needed 12,000 rpm to make "only" 240 hp. These days... they are making close to 270hp, and only twisting them to 10,000 rpm to do it! Now the investment to get to 270hp @ 10k was likely close to $1,000,000



Now back to work.... remember those short radius's - radii??




How about a bit closer...
