Ok this is a question for everybody that uses the steatlh ram set up my vortec base hsr just came in today and im playing around with it the instructions say to mount the crossover line in front now im wondering if u could bolt it up behind the plenum and have your inlet ports and regulator in front instead of in the back im also using the hsr fuel rail with regulator if that matters i plan on trying to use the stock tpi rubber fuel hoses since they are still in good shape

Ok so it can be done i was just wonderig cause it looks like the crossover fuel pipe would hit on the distributor when its sitting in the intake

I have the HSR but I do not have the holley fuel lines and rails that come with it but I ran my crossover in the back. I cant say for sure the holley hardline crossover tube will fit in the back but if anything you could always make your own crossover line.

Ok im gonna try it in the back of the plenum and see if it would work if not looks like im mounting it to the front unfortunately

I run mine with the crossover in the front and I still have clearance issues with the vacuum ports on the rear of the plenum hitting my dist. wires, I'm barely able to move the dist enough to time it. Goodluck man, it might be better in the rear let us know how it went.

Im thinking u really only need two vac ports so im mostly gonna use the two top ports and try that one for pcv and the ther for the hvac so the vents will work since im running ac as well

the cross over provided with the rails will not fit backwards, it comes in contact with intake, i have it in the front as prescribed and the only think i have an issue with in adjusting the holley fpr. no issues with vac lines or timing. just the frp is a pita to adjust.

Im gonna end up making my own crossover tube out of copper nickle so i will be able to bend so it doesnt hit on the hsr plenum it makes it more easier to mount it in the back so i can run my fuel lines right in front like the stock tpi lines im also not using the hsr adjustable fpr it craps out im looking into the aeromotive regulator instead so i can mount it right by the stock tpi return fuel line

Ok bump for everyone i finally got the fuel rail situation all set up now im running the crossover in the rear and now i need to figure out the aeromotive fuel pressure regulator the fittings on it are -10an and the bottom return is -6an i can get the fittings for that but to run the stock tpi hoses i need to make it connect somehow. How would i make this all work ??????

Well im running my fuel fittings in the front instead of the rear im wondering what fittings i need to use to hook it all together and have no leaks but instead of ur set up im trying to use the stock tpi hoses

Is that wire harness laying on the throttle bracket???

Zeromitch87

iTrader: (5)

haha yes it is i took the valve covers off to tighten down loose rockers and the harness is pulled back on that to keep it from sitting in the way

soarestransam

Well that would help out alot the aeromotive regulator has 2 -10an fittings and the bottom return is a -6an i know i need 1 block of -10an fitting 1 -10an fitting to be able to slide over an 3/8 barb fitting and another -10an fitting that will work with a 5/16 hose barb fitting

Update ok so i got a LT1 throttle body and it seems like the throttle lever hits on the fuel port which doesnt allow the the throttle to be fully opened im getting so tierd of this setup and just about to say screw it and go back tpi or save up and do a LQ9 swap 6.0 with t56

u can use this style tb and cut the offending arm off and everything still bolts up
what i did was cut the normal throttle cable section off and am using what i bellive to be a carb/tbi throttle cable , it works perfect

soarestransam

Yea i ended up just using a tpi throttle body with the same arm and used the stock tpi throttle cable doesnt hit on the fuel rail crossover tube fitting now but i kinda missed the vac fitting under the plenmun so now gotta get brass fittings to hook up the pcv valve
