@DIGItonium

thank you for sharing your thoughts ! You are correct that the oil cap will be a though issue but we will find a solution.

For the balancing tube we will definitely have to fab a custom connection as the stock tube does not clear all the things which are behind the plenum already, most importantly the VVEL motor !

I think we will do 2 options to start with, a pair of block plates to cap the balancing ports and a custom tube which clears with the 370Z engine.

We will then dyno both setups to see how the balancing affects torque throughout the rpm band.

For FI setups you should definitely have the balancing so I can imagine to offer different diameters, e.g. -6AN, -8AN and -10AN so people can play around with these to find the perfect match.

Current time schedule is that we need to weld the lower manifold as one piece and then continue with the fuel setup - this will happen during next week, so more pics are coming next weekend !
