i'll preface this with : I would LOVE to see the 3.2L headers on the market. I think they hit a very wide market sector....OF the isuzu ownership.

BUT, on the realistic side......don't hold your breath. i've spoken with them face-to-face 2 years in a row now at SEMA about those headers. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Pacesetter made Micheal Wood's prototype headers for his 3.2L Amigo ....what like 3-4 years ago? if guys were beating down the doors to buy them they would be on the market already.

No?

Bod Land Racing also had 3.2L headers......they used them on the Pike's peak winning Amigo.... i guess ...3 years ago. They too went by the wayside due to lack of interest.

it's a real shame..... really, if there is a repeated track record of MFG. dissapointment......it really "blacklists" Isuzu enthusiasts as a "weak" market sector and not worthy of your capitol and investment as a Manufacturer. We come right back to $$$. people have to realize it is just simple economics........if guys are dying to spend their $$$, companies will certianly give you something to spend it on.

bottom line is that companies put up a good chunk of their money just to bring a new product to the market.............and since they are not enthusiasts, rather "businessmen" .................investing in a product just to "shelf it" for a couple years while you sell 1's and 2's is really not a likely proposition for companies.

when companies start making good $$$ in a particular market sector, other companies take notice and try to jump in to get a "piece of the pie"

the isuzu aftermatket has "stumbled along" since 1986 when the trooper got 4 Wheel's "4x4 of the year award". there were a number of items that hit the market around that time:

Lockright for the rear 10 bolt
Auburn Limited slip for the 10 bolt
Thorley header for the 2.3L
Advance Adapters 2.3L/2.6L to 4.3L gm swap
Superwinch hubs
etc.

but, years later due to it never "taking off" lockright is gone and auburn is gone and Thorley is gone and Advance is gone.

i'm just playing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> advocate here and throwing out a little perspective on how important it is to buy and support the items that are on the market.

as a group, there have been some HUGE strides in aftermarket support. The Tera t-case and axle gears are a serious stride...as well as the ARB air locker for the front IFS


i can network and pitch product develomant to companies all day long...and tell them how this is a growing 4x4 market that they should think about.............. but in the end if I/they do not sell a good number of units.......well it's all just talk w/ nothing to back it up.


ok....................i could go on, but let's go back to more ideas.
