the manifold is also going to be drilled and tapped for NOS.

Have you considered the new NOSzle system the plugs between the injector and manifold? I'd be worried about injector spray pattern interference, but a N2O nozzle in the inlet air stream is also a disruption.

There is a local CL guy doing his manifold the way you propose. I'll try to pass along any lessons learned.

ITs costing me 700, im having the heads ported an polished with a 3 angle valvejob everything is going to be gasket matched and a resurfaced.

its going to cost me, but this is the first time i do any internal work. its kinda exciting.

This is where it starts... some internal work, some more internal work, some detailing work and the next thing you know you are buying an 89 5speed Legend, your engine is in peices on your parents garage floor and your 91's body is sitting out under a car cover in the cold. :p

or maybe it's just me... (it usually is)

i see your point, however i looked into the noszle system and its to expensive+they say the import adapters on the noszle parts are a pain to install and may create leaks. each noszle is 80 bucks the fogger nozzles are 30.

the distrubed air turbulance, can suck but i think its worth the disadvantages. the machinest said with a balanced mixture of fuel and nos i should get a lot more power out of smaller shot, which is logical i just never thought it actually woul make such a difference since my dry kits worked so well to begin with. we''ll have to try and see.
