I am sure it can be done, the question would be how much of a demand would there be for it. By the way after installing my aluminum plate today I took it for the first run looking for that right spot. The first run had alot of torque and kinda hard to hit top end, while steping on the pedal all the way down. Second adjustment and run I hit it right on the sweet spot. I opened the plate about 3/16 and what a difference. I still had torque, smooth instant response and reached 75 mph with no problem. Held my speed at 65 with very little effort on the pedal. Cruising at 60mph I could step on it and you feel slight torque as she continued to climb to 75mph easy. I am amazed with such a small adjustment what a difference it made.

if you do some dyno pulls and show the differences i'm sure there would be takers. Now, the big market would be an automobile manufacturer, so back to the patent, if you get it and figure out the theory behind it that could be the money maker - variable intake run length has been done before, i'm not aware of something similar to what you're doing so the market is possibly open for this one if indeed has the results you're seeing - you'd have to compare to stock and present/demonstrate the improvement.

Yes I have my theory to how and why its working so well,  there is several factors involved. There is about 7 functions in all that work together. If you are missing one it will not work up to its optimium levels. The problem here is funds for dynos and such. I am currently tied up in other projects that we are trying to complete/ close, or let me say knocking on new doors, for proper placement. Long story. I can draw out the aerodynamics of this whole thing, and explain why it works, in theory of course for now, and put it on black and white. I have been looking at used fog machines you know the kind clubs use on stage and stuff. Just to visually see the flow of air. I have lots to say but might not have enough room here
