**mopar2ya** · **Lonewolf Performance- additions**

As many in the TD community know Lonewolf Performance offers a number of different products and services, from head & manifold porting, custom intakes and headers, thermal/friction coating and some production items and more.

To expand our products and increase production and reduce production time, we have added a inhouse CNC mill along with our 2 other mills and inhouse flowbench. We hope to offer more products in the near future that will be even higher quality of appearance and a faster turnaround.

We'd like to thanks everyone for their business and support and look forward to providing more performance items to meet your needs.

here's a request...CALIBRATIONS!!!!!!!!!
it is something everyone here would agree on.
ive been waiting 4 months for mine from turbos unleashed and
am not alone.
ive seen your site and didnt see calibrations mentioned.
thank you for being involved with turbo dodges.its nice to know i can hard to find parts and performance upgrades from so many vendors.
................ryan......

Contact Cindy at FWD Performance. She has every cal you could ever want, and she keeps bringing them to market.

Wallace if I may ask what kind of CNC? Are you using any CAM software? If not do you do all your own programing? Do you have a need for someone to produce solid modles for you? I love CNC machines they are so much fun. Glad to here you guys have been growing. Keep all the cool stuff comming.

Thats a Andre' Parker question. He does most of the mill work. To me its a 5000 lb drill press....

We dont do cals, its not our focus, but we do sell SDS standalone. FWDP does good and has a wide array of drop in cals for just about anything.

You kill me! As much as you like building things you should really learn more about them. Well tell Andre' Parker if he needs any solid solid modle in CAD I work for cheep. I just want some TIII parts.

Ah... A Proto-Trak! Not a true CNC machine, but more of a Bridegport retrofit to cnc conversion and using ballscrews which eliminate any leadscrew slop for heavy milling and accuracy. I want one myself vs the cost of a CNC mill ($15k vs $80k) and they are VERY user friendly with no need to know code at all.

Wallace, if your's is a Proto-Trak retroed with a Sharp mill be aware that they have isues doing some critical tolerances (circular interpolation aka circles and curves) The machine reads off the belt for it's movements and we all know belts do have stretch to some extent. If your's reads off the actual table movements, then your ok.

hey wallace, could you update your website? maybe show-off some of the headers you got? those custom t3 billits that i will soon buy.. ps advertise you sell sds, and different accesories? just a suggestion. i know that alot of the vendors sell things that are not advertised, but it would be nice to see it advertised so we know or remember to get. like where can i buy carbon fiber rotors? 4 piston or more calipers? thanks.

**mopar2ya** · 10-13-2006, 09:30 PM

Its all there, but pricing updates..

Steve, it's an older Bridgeport Series 2. It's a HEAVY mofo at that. It dwarfs our Mighty Comet. It reads off the table. I am not a CNC operator yet

I am a conventional machinist but had to bite the bullet and go CNC because it's faster than my old a$$ is. LOL. I have a programer, I'm teaching him conventional machining and he is showing me how to program this thing.

**mopar2ya** · 10-14-2006, 02:05 AM

What he said...

Gotta teach a programmer how to use conventional (manual) equipment. That's funny. Teach the Docker's wearing yuppy to get his hands dirty for me.

Do you have to know cnc code to run this machine? Meaning G-codes, M-commands, etc? Or is the controller user friendly and does the math and other things for you? Like insteaed of a lengthy series of code, you hit the button for "arc" and give it your x and y, then the z coordinates, cutter comp, tool diameter and arc raduis and then let her rip? Even though knowing code to do such involved things is cool, but hitting a few buttons and making it easy makes it fun. I know it was for me.

Andre Parker · 10-14-2006, 07:48 PM

It uses X,Y and Z inputs so I won't have to learn CNC code thank god. LOL. It seems fairly easy to use. The main thing is it will help make life easier for me. Hopefully some day I'll even have enough time to finish my own car and "how to" video for guys wanting to do their own hybrid.

Hey Wallace.......Ive been PMing you about the port work on that head and was doing some searching and found this post....... I see you do SDS. Im running SDS on my CSX. Have you figured out how to use a knock sensor on our engines with the SDS?

Yeah...that kind of controller is fun to use, but has it's limitations. For example... if you wish to mill a complete cricle, you cannot tell it to go 360 degrees of an arc at a certain radius. You must connect two 180 degree arcs together. Alot of weird stuff like that to encounter and games you have to play. The arcs for the slots on Stephane's T-III gears that I made... I had to do ALOT of trickery to get it to mill those slots as I was using cutter comp. Before, we just programed point to point.
