Now that is schweet I was going to make something like that to get over the very long tubes of the ltr setup.

I have also seen the basicly same setup but he used the stock plenum but made covers for the long tube setup and milled the bottom of the thing flat and put the holes for the air to flow into the base.

There's a thread on corvetteforum.com about that too. Another alternative might be to use the plenum from the street & Performance big block setup. It looks just like a stock TPI plenum, except that it sits on top of a Tunnel Ram EFI base.

EDIT: Here's a thread I started on chevytalk.org that covers what I'm thinking:

Wonder how he finally mounted the fuel rails.. Those look a lot like stock TPI fuel rails just held there with the injectors themselves.

Looks like hes using TPI rails, seperated and flipped side to side.

Saturn.
You´re absolutely right.
Angle of the injectors put the rails under pressure when you bolt down the plenum ontop the ram.
Works great.
