$229 plus the $200 refundable core charge.
It bolted right up, and the larger bores cleared the Edelbrock
Performer TBI intake with just a slight chamfering on the intake bores. Nice looking piece too.
I did have a vacuum leak after I put it on. Seems the one I got was a little warped on the bottom.Just needed to clean it up with a steel block wrapped in sandpaper. I suppose I could have sent it back, but I already sent them my core, so my car would have been down.
I also used their Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator, and it's easily adjustable by just removing the air cleaner. It's pretty easy to make the stock one adjustable (see ultimate TBI Mods), but lately I have more money than time, so I bought theirs.
Reason I didn't use the Holley Throttle Body was that I'd heard their injectors were not very tolerant of fuel pressure increases, but I've heard that they've corrected this problem by using a different type of injector now than they used to.

Hey Rich92 I have the turbo city TB with the adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I haven't touched it in so long I forgot how it works. Which way for more fp and which way for less, also what r you using to tell you what your fp is.

Turn the screw in (clockwise if you're looking at it upside-down) to increase pressure. I have a fuel pressure gauge on the supply line between the frame and motor (in the flex-line).
