Im still here. Contacting me via email is usually best (greg@prokartindoor.com), but this works too.

Sorry I haven't updated anybody in a while! This economy has forced me to hold up on a few things, which included spending time on SMIM's that I could otherwise spend on making money. Well, trying to atleast!

In short, I worked with a local place to design a new SMIM. It is amazing! My car has NEVER ran so smoothly. It out flowed everything before it, and in my humble opinion, looks amazing! Like I said, the prototype is currently on my car. We planned on dyno testing it in September, But I was running 115% duty cycles at 25psi! With a turbo that is pretty dormant below 20, this wans't a good thing. So I parked the car until I could invest into either a full blown setup or bosch 044 and some new injectors. Hopefully, this spring I can get back on track.

If anybody is SERIOUS about wanting more information and pricing on one of these, please let me know. These will be made to order, and would probably take 3-4 weeks to get. So far, the plan is to sell the design to somebody else because the guy who I designed this with doesn't have the time in his shop to deal with sales and service. Hes a very small shop, and is extremely busy. But until I get around to dyno testing this, thats on hold too.

If people out there still want things tested, Im more than willing. All you need to do is drop them off to me, and ill have them ready to be picked back up in less than 48 hours!

Looking goood! I assume you sold the jmf? Care to re-post the findings again? It was a pleasure talking with you throughout the process for this.

btw, you still working at pro-kart?

Yeah, still at ProKART!

I sold the JMF on the link forum. Somebody in Cali if I remember right. I kept some of the NOS setup, and got some new parts too and put it in. First time I tried to use it, we found out one of the nozzles was cracked. Scarred the crap out of me!

I believe the findings are all still up on the site! We had a server issue here a few months ago, so It is possible that its gone. Ill look into it. Ifnot, I have it saved here as well.

Although I do not have the test sheet in front of me, I believe it was 460cfm per runner, with less than a 2 cfm difference best to worst.

I still have the web page saved for the SMIM testing. Appareantly, our webmaster deleted everything and deleted my password as well. I was using ProKART's server to do it. If somebody has a suggestion to get things up again, please let me know

Yup, results are gone, if you could find a way to re-post them that would be awesome!

It has room for swifty bashing (thats alot of room), so I think it would have room for the intake results. :)

Swifty asked me to re-post the test data. This is the latest version I still had on my hard drive, as i have gotten a new computer since then (Thank God)
