Got some pictures today at the builders of the modified intake manifold for additional injectors and adding fuel rails. These pictures show his long injector spacers, he's going to set the fuel rail mounts to allow for either short or long injectors as I see fit.

 
Will you have enough clearance under the hood with the long injector setup on the manifold?  Are the fuel rails a prototype & not the finished product (almost look like they are threaded in the pics)?  :biggrin:
 
Those are the fuel rails that will be used.
MikeB worked with the builder to verify there's enough clearance but I plan on using shorter injectors which will reduce the height by .75"
 
Funny you say that. This will be revision 1, next revision will be a custom dual plenum intake (that's what I'm imagining now) that will be on the passenger side, this way I can take the outputs from the turbos and put into a water to air IC unit on that side then feed the intake. Should make it alot cleaner there. :)
I also need more space in the plenum as the air flow increases.
 
Similar idea for me, but all i was going to do is cut the intake and rework the throttle housing to be straight instead of bent to one side. Plenum area has never been a concern of mine on a boosted car. It is a lot more secondary than on a n/a application, to me anyway. I will be going l to a after I get my vent to atmosphere done and make shorty intakes.
 
Injector install is done, next step is to get the intake manifold polished and coated this week:

What color are you powder coating it?

Did you hear the "Bad News"  BNOON and I only live about 80 mi from each other, when I get back to IA... I figure our "two heads together" should be able to nullify about 80% of your intellect!!!

I have decided that I don't want to do Nitrous or W/M, so I have purchased a Jet Engine... Mounting it where I can flip up the tailgate to fully use it's power... and be in the 9's!!!!!

Seriously... I am really enjoying your build... just wish I could see it in person, (and not have to fly to Phoenix...).  This just might get the Brick to the strip in a few weeks!  Just can't afford another issue... Wife (45 years) might finally lose patience with my toys...
 
Sweet!

Of course if my Flex were Black... I would have done it in RED and then added Red Caliper covers! 

(Which I have  - SHO Red Caliper Covers)

WAIT!  I don't have a Flex... I have a SHO Wagon!
 
Pictures of the install going on:

This is a picture of my 2011 intake vs the 2013 intake. The 2013 intake is about $200 less expensive than the previous year and we couldn't find a difference.
