This might seem like a dumb question to some, but why would one want to cut and fab a split bowl out of a "C" insted of just buying a regular split bowl?

It's a secret ;)




If you look around a bit, you won't have to look too far to find out that the JC bowls are thought to have better flow characteristics, the vanes (called stator vanes) are a wee bit longer on the C's, which may explain this, I dunno...maybe...The bolt on's greatly increase the ability to "accessorize" i.e. snoots, extensions, wedges and so on...

Tommy, that's a nice piece...

Marlin, Glenn said it well (above) and over and above that the "Splits" A's,B's & Gs are getting harder to find Not to mention a fair amount are cracked in the stuffer area which is an expensive repair (welding and o'size boring , A new split Bowl is a fair chunk of change by comparison Tom

Kona re a Core , for right now no I have quite a few "C"

Heres another pic

Tom, do you carry the straight snoot? I've read that with a heavier hull like mine, that a droop can create more drag than a straight snoot???

great idea tom....been waiting for someone with the know-how and ability to do this on a production level.

just like tom said...c-bowls are dime-a-dozen out there.....finding a quality split bowl is hard to come by.

i still need a split bowl. I am still running that split bowl you repaired over a year ago....its workin great actually,but should be replaced.

Just for shits and giggles, can you post a side by side pictures of a cut c bowl and a g bowl? i want to see the difference in vain lengths....i read somewhere they are different and thats what makes them flow better but have yet to see the actual difference.

Thanks Brad ! if you guys like that wait till you see what the Mill master cooked up yesterday , I still cleaning up the aftermath of the flying metal particals  "Bowlenstein" 2.0 rolled off the rotary table yesterday . Features "finesed" exit vanes almost 1 full inch longer than a "G" bowl ,we may stuff these too haven't decided we can also custom make them as water,grease or traditional oil lube , all come with new bowl plug ,tail shaft bushings ,gaskets and have double drilled exits should have the next two back next week for photos I'll post pics of the C next to a G ASAP Tom

PS also have two new intake loader in the works ,one for Berk,Dom, AT and a SS style for E pumps , Prices will be very reasonable lots of other new stuff on the horizon too

STC315 ,yes we sell Straight snoots and bowl extentions and yes they (collectively) are proproted to help on heavier boats and tunnels as well  ,ps check your mail on the ford pics? Tom

(stuffer example in AT bowl)

Flow characteristics of my New Dom (non-extruded honed) bowls and standard Berk "G" Bowls are very similar , the converted "C" bowls a Proported to flow better than G's but I have no numbers or actual statistics to be perfectly honest Tom
