Will vortech fuel rails work on the Miniram?

Seems like this would be sweet, seeing as how they only cost 145 compared to TPiS's 300 dollar rails. Any thoughts, or any other , cheaper, sources for miniram compatable fuel rails?

P.S. it is my opinion that the stock fuel rails not fitting on the miniram is just another conspiracy to get money from us. If they designed the whole thing why, oh why, couldnt they get it to work with the stock logs? Anyway...

You can't use Vortech rails. It's no conspiracy, they design the intake to make power, then design fuel rails later. I used LT1 fuel rails I had laying around the shop (free) and welded fittings on the ends for my braided crossover. Then I used 2 small washers as spacers to keep the rails from smashing my injectors when I tightened them down. I even used the stock LT1 mounting holes. The rails fit! Injector placement was the same.
