Just curious so have to ask. Is there a big advantage to a billet manifold over a conventional sheet metal piece?




Effeciency from what I see. Once you have the program dialed in. Put a chunk of alum. in the machine and you can pretty much walk away and work on something else. yeah the chunk may cost 1000 bucks but you make that back in effeciency of machining versus making runners and the other pieces and having to weld it all together. Then after welding it together you need to machine the piece again for surface flatness.
