Post some pics..

that is how we did our first t3 plate, cut it with a blow torch, it was very messy, but it worked.

the 2nd t3 plate we did was cut on a mill, came out alot better.

----.... it came out looking like ***.... but it still worked.... im going to TIjuana to get another one done... at a machine shop... they said they would hook it up cheap.... and they do charge cheap.... welder charged me 3 bucks to cut it into shape... and this was some thick *** heavy duty tempered steel... but im gonna see how the machine shop does it... im thinking they might do a cleaner job... so i will keep you guys posted.... results and possibly a picture will come out this weekend

here is a pic of my first one





This is the 2nd one we just did,


The one on the left is the t3 plate. It still needs to be port matched on the top side for better flow transition from the manifold to the plate.
