I can think of something better... one that actually works. After you get past functioning, looking pretty is cool as long as you can get it without messing with the function.

take your time and measure out the hardlines first.

its easy to get in "the groove" or in a rush, and foobar a line.

also, it goes without saying, use a good bender made for that size... "universal" benders suck.

i am guessing that it is a carbed setup, when i had my direct port on my car it worked great but the only problem i ever had was making sure the dumb thing didnt run lean either by the pump or the carb, its a little hard to find out after you have melted your comb. chambers that you were running lean, so my advice is to make sure you are dialed in then you should be happy

it's a fuel infected car and the n2o already has a separate fuel system that will pump cam 2. I don't think i'll run lean.
