    i was hoping to find the craigslist ad that went with this but it seems to be gone now.


    what is the purpose of buying a carberated intake manifold and then turning around and drilling it out for a set of injectors?


    i had another question but now i question what it is because i forgot.:hmmm:

    Alot of turbo guys do that. They also sell adaptors from 4bbl to throttle body flange. Nothing new.

    Another possibility is drilling for (direct port) nitrous injectors...

    when this is done its usually done with a victor intake. the victor intakes have large short runners. these are good for high rpm and big displacement motors. most stock and aftermarket fuel injection intakes have long smaller runners. so the victor intake will give higher beter performance for racing motors.

    So after watching and pondering fast and furious it brought me to a new question. I believe it was the 80's model chevy. Dual rear axels. Rather then make the second axel just a carrier axel how could you go about making it a functional axel?
