My vote would be Air hats and Fuel rails (More go than show 8). For the Air
hats - maybe two different versions - one typical and one with two inlet
locations for fabbing up a dual-snorkel cold-air setup. For the fuel rails
- I was gonna do my own using some extruded aluminum rail stock available
from several sources (at around $10 per foot) - tap the ends for threaded
fittings and match up the injector hole locations. The mounting of the
rails as well as the fuel system attachment point would be the challenges
that I can think of. I like the idea that intense performance had (what
happened to their rails?) of using two center (longer?) intake bolts to
mount them solidly. As far as the fuel system attachment - it would be nice
to be able to just disconnect the stock and reattach to a new rail set -
options to include having threaded fittings would easily allow changing over
to a better? setup with fuel entering one rail a new return line exiting the
other (w/an adjustable regulator). That gives several possibilities on the
rail - maybe even a small gauge attachment as well...
