Default Got the new 4.3 Intake MPFI Manifold Today







....lol not....









This thing is HEAVY!!! Weighs a smidge over 50lbs. But it is nice. All powder coated black. All the connections and holes were covered with plastic caps.

Gets rid of the P.O.S. spider injection for the vortec motors. Has fuel rails on the outside of the manifold. Comes with 24lb. hr. injectors, fully brazed stainless fuel lines. The stocker has aluminum lower manifold and plastic upper, this marine manifold is cast iron bottom manifold with aluminum upper.

The vortec manifolds are crap. The spider injection leaks and goes bad, the injectors are aimed in every direction not straight into the cylinder. All the fuel line/injectors are inside the plenum, restricting air flow, and the poppet injectors cannot be replaced with any upgrades. This intake fixes all those issues. Now I can replace injectors with any size if I decide for boost or more cubes or what have you.

I have one done by him. He installed a cam in my friends GTO and did the tuning for him. I've talked to him on the phone a few times, he is a real smart guy
