tooter's next manifold adventure...

[BEEF]

My thing was that tooter usually makes short runs of products. I was thinking of doing this later on but the issue is they may not be available so I am going ahead and biting the bullet.

I guess that is the thing with specialized products. I joined after the Piggies short throw shifter was long gone so I had to wait for garm to come out with his. Waiting about killed me so I am a little more apt to jump on something if I know quantity is limited.

Demand for a product like this is slight because the market is paper thin and quickly saturated. So I only make short runs. I'm just happy to have the prototypes for my own use, and sell a few more to cover all of the design, prototype machining, dyno testing, raw materials, production, mounting hardware and gaskets, and shipping costs. So far I've been able to break even on both the tooter intake manifolds and the tooter II.VII spacers. So now I'm recycling the same startup money into the tooter I.V spacer project.
