It's a direct fit but you need to buy a corvette fuel filter that connects your stock fuel lines to the new intake your fuel system is return style and the tbss is return less and the corvette filter is a direct snap on fit to convert it when I did mine I did the swap with headers and I think it was like a 30 rwhp gain if you use your stock injectors they will fit and work in the new rails no problem if you use the tbss ones your gunna need wire connectors for the injectors

It seems to only be a peak number. Gray_Matter04 took his off and sold it as his track times got slower after he installed it.

Anyone got a link to the Corvette regulator? Does it truly install without any modification to the fuel rail or fuel lines?

Who makes cable TB's that will work with this intake and with the stock throttle and cruise cables?

Are the fuel injectors the same height?
