Before you leap and order that, bring an existing intake if you have one to
various machine shops... before I opted to do it myself (I'm a cheap
bastard!) I received quotes from 300-350 bucks to make the bosses, weld them
into the intake at an angle I specify, and machine the fuel rails out of
billet aluminum.  Of course if you have to buy an intake to have a machine
shop do this, then you are at about the same price of 475 bucks.

If you have an intake though, you can save money assuming you like the
intake.

Seems very small-ish.  I ended up with 55lb/hr.  Lets see the math Andy,
maybe one or both of us messed up the math somehow.

28lb/hr should be had from a junkyard... they are small enough.  My problem
is I can't tell them apart from one another until I clean 'em up and even
then its a challenge.
