Is it too late to get in on this deal? And if not what are the steps I need to be taking and I havent seen an answer to what injector is best suited for this manifold.
I'll sell you my spot if you're interested PM me.

I wish this was available without the port injection. Lot of us had PI for like a year now:)

This is the correct way to do port injection. With the fuel injectors spraying towards the backside of the intake valves directly at the combustion chamber. Having an injector spray at an intake port wall is.......not optimal (to put it mildly). We have been forced to use sandwich plates because that's been the only option. It is no longer the only option.

This would be like you asking the point of an expensive FMIC like those from AD, ETS, etc when we can get one for $300 off ebay already.

Also, reduces chance for leaks by 50% (12 o-rings vs 6).

This has been debating a lot. When the port injection sandwhich plate is activated, it's usually at a high rpm, high volume of air is entering the port. Which means more than likely the spray is being atomized evenly into the combustion chamber. So no matter where the injector is placed it should work fine.

Sandwich plates are no longer much of an option with this alternative available.

At this point if you are considering port injection, this is the best way to go, it looks better, has better injector spray, 6 gaskets instead of 12, and is around the same price
