Same computerized concept as CNC machining prior to the physical work. No fixtures required or chips to clean up either.

I have a 3d printer and could print them if you send me files.

Hey guys, I'm a bit of a noob on this stuff. Can someone please explain to what the benefits and possible trade-offs for doing this could be? Why wouldn't fast just make them like this to begin with? Why does it look like they will be offering an option of 3 sizes in th future?

Different size runners excel at different power bands. Short runners give up low end torque for high end power. It is all a tradeoff.

I've been saying this forever! I can't believe no one has 3D printed any different runner designs for the FAST

I'm assuming you want the rpm band to be shifted to the right without losing power?

Ironically my cam-only setup with a fast 92 peaks too high for me 7300+ with the standard runners.

If someone makes the file, I'll 3d print some up.

Or someone just buy a 3d printer, they are stupid cheap now days.
