It'* not that simple, Jason. Ours are at compound angles, and our rail isn't as easily modified. Jwikoff and I have been struggling with this for some time, and Chris has been helping lately, too.
We have options, but none as easy or cheap as the Series 2 guys, with the exception of one option that John is looking into for a hybrid rail possibility from another car. I'm a fabricator from way back, and I've dealt with similar probles on cars before, as well as at work. I'm smart enough to know the injectors have to be firmly held in place. That'* where half the problem arises.

Although the process is more complex then given, it'* completely do able if you got the time...
What are your thoughts on modifying the stock one?

I drew a quick paint pic of what i ment.
This is looking from the pivot point of the TB plate at WOT.
The blade is yellow, the shaft is grey, and the arrows show the direction of the air.
Wouldn't this shape have the least amount of turbulance?

One possibility is the L27 rail. Creating a hybrid between the L27 and L67 rails. Believe it or not, there'* some hope there. That'* what John Wikoff is looking into. I think it would be easier to make adapters to go between the 'hats' of the stock rail and the stock injectors. At least if you have a lathe available.

Good that you cleaned up those ports. You will make some more power but mainly should be smoother in the power delivery since the air wont be going notes since you removed the casting flash. Looks good! Now shatter you differential! Join the club.

I already did!
Actually, I think the greatest benefit to me will be getting rid of high-rpm KR. And allow me to stick with a 2.2" pulley maybe, after I do the hybrid conversion to the blower.

Did a little investigation today. The coolant ports to the TB can most definatly be plugged and keep flow to the back head.
Anyone know what the gasket is called to the end plate on the intake end of the LIM?
