Re: Simple HSR question I need an answer

Ummm ok, do you have vortec heads? Easy way to tell is if you have 8 bolts (vortec) holding down the intake manifold or 12 bolts (regular sbc).

If you have the stock heads for the TPI then you need the regular one.

I did his install on my L98 with iron heads. Here's a few note:
HSR intake #7540
Holley fuel rail system #534-193
Holley 58mm throttle body

If you have '87 or newer iron heads you'll most likely need the Holley supercharger adapter kit #90748. This is because the intake is design for the '87 and earlier heads.

The fuel rails that I purchased has a schrader valve on the front.

Also, the HSR will did not exactly fit under the hood. It rubs against the dimple in the hood where the insulation clip attatches. This occurs at the plate on the throttle body.

Other than that I'm happy with the install.

LMK if you have any questions.

Looking at the documentation, there are two versions of the fuel rail; non-adjustable FPR and adjustable FPR.

I have the adjustable FPR setup.

Re: Simple HSR question I need an answer
