hey thanks for the pics! and ur right does look it is may not fit on a stock hood, oh well maybe someone will trade me for a WS6 hood looks like i am going to use this intake for my turbo build i am doing.
Has anyone measured the casting thickness on this. I see some potential areas where it could be machined slightly smaller that might help with fitment.

I look forward to seeing your results. I may just have to make this work for me with the price as good as it is.

thats a good question.... cause some machining might make it fit alot better...

I take it a WS6 would have fitment issues as well or no?
Yes, I don't see where it would fit without some modifications. Bob

i am wondering the same thing, some one has to have done more testing by now. I know , some of you are going to say if you want numbers to go buy one but its the longest that a speed part has been out with out dyno numbers yet.

well i have bad news i was saposed to go to epp on sat but some shit came up and now it looks like i wont be able to go and get results and it will be a few weeks till they can get me in on a sat

The more and more I use this intake, the more and more I hate it. Edelbrock did so many things wrong. My Lucas 42# injectors hit the fuel rail mounts which then causes the fuel rail to cock backwards. It pinches the fuel injector so tight that it cannot spin freely and looks like it might be cocked enough for o-rings not to seal. This intake really needs the skinny injectors for the fuel rails to fit correctly. I'll find out in the next day or two when I finish swapping fuel injectors/rails if the o-rings leak on the fatter injectors. And the fact that Edelbrock did not include the GM 90mm throttle body pattern and made up a new LS1 style fuel rail with different mounting holes. They made it insanely hard for anyone to switch to this manifold its ridiculous. Although it did put down decent numbers, see my previous post for dyno graph. I really wish I would have stuck with the FAST intake instead of switching to this.
i used the fat injectors on mine. Just grind down the area near the mounting holes to give clearance. Also it was quite easy to make mounting tabs that i welded to the rails and bolted to the mounting holes edelbrock provided. Mine will be running soon but i won't have anything to compare a before and after... I will say it pulls more vacuum at idle compared to the stock LS1 intake (for whatever thats worth)
Just confirmed that the fat injectors do not fit. I ground down the mounting brackets, and the fuel injectors still hit. I started the truck and it is indeed pulling a vacuum leak around the bottom fuel injector o-ring at each mounting bracket.
newbie question time
which injectors are fat and which thin? I have SVO 42#
thanks
Those are the injectors I'm currently using. Delphi/Lucas 42# injectors. They do not clear the fuel rail mounting bracket. I did some more grinding to the brackets and got as close to the mounting holes as I was comfortable as doing and the injectors are very close to fitting. They still rub the mounting brackets, but it looks as if the vacuum leaks on the bottom o-ring injector are gone.
