Filing the ring end gaps, there is no instructions for marine closed cooling aplication. Should i follow the street moderate turbo/nitrous clearance? 10 to 1 compression.

That's a lot of work. You can buy universal fuel injector bungs for $40.
Any reason you didn't go with a single monoblade LS style tunnel "ramish" intake?
Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of the twin throttle body tunnel ram. but...
This was on a 780HP 565.

At first i was going to use carbs, thats why. Is that intake made by jimv? If so that is where i got my inspiration to efi. Nice looking intake btw 👍. The reason for thick injector bungs is that i can fill the runner with the bungs, less welding to get it match to oval port head.

Yes, that is JimV's old intake. It was on his old 27' Fountain. He now runs Single plane throttle body injection on his 38' Fountain.
