If you happen to run into a cheap used greddy mani, you might be better off than with HF+Adapter. I got mine for cheaper than HF+mani and I get to keep A/C and power steering.

Dunno if it flows any better though...

personally id ditch the side mount interheater, and buck up on a good front mount. those injectors can also be had for 40-50 bucks.

ps - 10psi is a minumum on d-series motors.

im prob gonna use something like this for my downpipe:

Its just the pipe, and I will have to weld flanges onto it, something like this:

not sure if its the right one, but thats the idea... Im gonna cut the end off an old header, and use it for the adaptor to the cat. and run a piece of this inline:

Dunno if its all gonna work, but thats the beauty of homemade.

PS. Thanks for all the advice people, MUCH appreciated.
