"Cast them at a good foundry out of quality aluminum, machine them at a state of the art cnc equipped shop that can hold decent production tolerances"
Why do they need to be told this!!!!! The market is waiting for them. The push for bigger inch small blocks is crazy right now, and the choices are becoming available because the other vendors see the potential. Bad taste or no (and $100K to MP is a hit, but if that's deterring a product that is needed from production, they need a new therapist) they should be able to tell there is a need.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
