Official Richard Holdener who wants to buy an intake manifold list

[bladesmith6]

Ok, here is my opinion since apparently I am the only one who feels this way(or hasn't lost their perspective) I don't give a damn about the "horsepower to dollar ratio" that everyone keeps yammering about. I am talking purely about price for a certain type of part. For a non race manifold you generally see around 250-550 dollars, now I'm sure this manifold is the same basic construction, flange, 4 tubes, air chamber nothing earth shattering. No space age materials, no moving parts, no magic. Those manifolds are pumped out at a factory so prices can be lower because of volume, yours is closer to hand made, so no argument there. So sell the plans to edelbrock or victor or whomever you want, let THEM provide your profit margin instead of extorting a group of people who bought a subcompact car and are trying to have a little fun with what they can afford. Obviously the second I post this everyone who put themselves on the list is going to jump me saying how justified the price is, but I can't help thinking it is only because they have nowhere else to go.
