Need help putting together a ramjet

I have read through the posts and realize I can buy a complete ramjet setup for 1300 or I can put one together.
After adding up the individual prices it was not a whole lot cheaper putting one together than it was to buy the kit. I added up all the parts and added 75 for a ls1 tbi from ebay and 230 for svo injectors from summit.
To anyone who has done this swap, What other options do I have? For example does anybody know where to get the fuel rails cheaper? Gm wants 267 for the setup
Any Info would be great Thanks

LS1 fuel injectors for $100 from SLP.
I've got a couple of LS1 TB's for $45 each off LS1.com classifieds, you just gotta look out for them.

Thanks for the reply,
Will The slp injectors support 430 hp? Also I might be adding a procharger in the next year. Does anybody know where to get fuel rails at a better price?

Thanks

After looking at the price with shipping at gmparts direct it doesnt look like it would save a guy very much to piece the ramjet together. for example they want 58 dollars to ship the fuel rails making it 350 for the rails. 77 dollars to ship the intake.
I added all of the parts up minus the throttle body and injectors and it was still over 1000. It seems like the best way to go would be to get the complete kit for 1300 from SD. I belive this price includes a distibuter, wires, injectors.

Any other ideas on this?
Thanks

I think i just about have it figured out the best way to go when putting together a ramjet. I called Arizona Speed and Marine. They have the better prices than gmpartsdirect for example they sale the fuelrails for 157. 200 hundred less than gmpartsdirect.

If someone could help with these last few parts I will put together a list of the best prices .

Does anybody know where to get the following parts for a better price

Adjustable Regulator 145
Injectors? -----
Fuel pump 750 Hp 225
map sensor 45.80
air temp sensor 18.95
knock sensor 22.40

Also what sensors can I reuse from my 305 tbi?

Thanks
