hey guys sorry the comps went down yesterday at work and i didnt get home till 12 last night, as 4 the pics ill get some when i put them on the tester i have to order a gauge today cuz mine is broken, but ill put them on hopefully tomorow. now the machining process is (abrasive flow machining) iam shure most of you have heard of it and not only does it make the hloe larger it polishies the peice so its verry smooth, and this process can be used on just about anything like intake/exhaust mans, heads exc,
and i will get numbers 4 everyone once they are in my truck!

the afm process is a type of extrude hone process, and iam not shure about the price, i guess it all depends if someone was to give me a set lets say from their truck or if they have an extra set that would be the cheapest but if some one wanted a new set that would be possible as well, along with me not knowing the price once i test these ill c if we can get some different sizes to offer like this first run was only a 20% increase which i personally think is going to be a good bit but who knows what the spray pattern will be like when i make more of a change say i did 50% it just might not work but ill try my best, as for pressures i would like mine to be quite high just so their is better atomization, but iam still in the beging stages

I'm still curious about the need for these....

I have not found an instance yet where I could use all the moose pump had to offer.
