Default Re: Cold Air Intake Tube sizes

In a round about sort of way. More like lets just do what this forum was intended for. Lets share ideas, tricks, stories and enjoy the things that brought all of us together, Our Cars! But you are correct about not being pissed. No I'm not pissed. My motivation for build, or designing these intakes, is not based on being challenged. They came from me wanted something that didn't exist. I wanted them so bad and having done simple intakes for Chevy trucks and applications of that caliber years prior. I thought "hey I can come up with something for it." While doing it, I thought of all the other owners would probably want something like this as well. I know without a doubt, if I would be drilled as I am, I would of just kept my mouth shut from the start. If I just showed up with it, as a finished product, I know it would be a matter of taking orders. It wasn't about that for me. I wanted to share my results, findings, concepts, requests etc...... with all of you, and you can share in the build. However it didn't move quickly enough and I think people turned bitter. I know I have been guilty of the same things in the past, but maybe its a long the lines of, " If I can't have it, I'm going to try to kill anyone else's chance to have it too." That's what it seemed like to me, I tried to keep people informed, And I know I made a million promises and I did everything in my power to try to make them all happen for everyone. I'm the only guy doing it though. I did all by myself , no help and no real support. I got support from people who wanted it. I got all sorts of positive feed back. But It faded pretty quick, and took a turn in a different direction. I found myself working really hard and apologizing for not being able to move fast enough for all of you guys. I didn't even think about it for me anymore. I was so worried that I would **** you all off if I couldn't get things done, when I said that I would. I did it way to long. I have jumped through every hoop I was asked to jump through, never realizing it was all a bunch of sh*t, and all I need to know...for ME is I know what it does, I know how unbelievable it works and I don't ever need to try to prove that to anyone. If you are skeptical, try it, what do you have to loose, you think it is pointless, you have 15 days to send it back, in new condition. I understand it will be used however, I can always use extra tubing for other projects that has nothing to do with forum. I'm not directing anything at you specifically Christo76. I'm saying this in general, this was an effort for the team, done by one person. So in this case, there was an "I" in team. It's really easy to jump on one, when I have to take on all of you. If I had all the finger pointers working a long side of me, it would have been finished 6 months ago. However, the only hands I had were my own and the one's holding them out looking for something from me.

That's were I'm coming from.

So this is addressed to all it may apply to. If in fact you are seriously interested in the System that I (ASK Racing Concepts & Designs) have designed and manufactured, you can find out more, and I will talk to you about anything. Whether it be how much, how big or even just helpful hints for your own projects. I will gladly take time to help you. Send me an Email or a PM. I will no longer do open discussions about, what it is and what can it do. I most sincerely apologize to any and all who are new and old who just simply had questions. It's more because of people's opinions, they have no base to form facts about a system, only one other person besides myself, actually has his own results that he could base an actual opinion about what it can do. He's the only person that can actually say something about it. The sad thing about that is, the reason of why he's not talking a whole hell of a lot on the subject. In my opinion, as long as I have known the guy, which is close to six and a half years now. He has never once given me credit on anything I have ever done. He will never give me the same respect I give him when he does something New and Improved. I'm younger and I couldn't possibly know more then he, on a subject. I never really got a thank you for giving him a system. I got sh*t while I was installing it for him until 2:00 am because of the reasons explained above.
In the words of "Forrest Gump" " That's all I have to say about that."
