A warning to all SLP T-ram owners...

The Ford SVO 24# injectors are not direct replacements for the factory units...I found this out the hard way. They are about .090" shorter, so the fuel rail will not seat properly on it. Not sure about the new Accel 24# units, but their tech rep said he thought they might be slightly shorter also. On a factory TPI setup, this is no big deal, because the fuel rail only attaches to the injectors, but on the T-ram, the fuel rail is part of the upper plenum, so the injector height is very critical. I ended up having to mill the plenum base to get everything to fit properly, and now it does, but if I ever go back to stock height injectors I'll have to remember to double up on the plenum base gaskets...
