I agree, still no picture, but summit has a price. Not bad if its decent looking. Eric L

Little postage stamp of a picture in the Summit catalog But looks OK ? from what I can tell, and better than the thing I came up with so far as well as cheaper than a factory 4-corner system.

google the TFS number and go to images. there is a nice size image on a corvette forum.
that looks like a pretty good kit for the price. may have to pick one up.
edit: doug just posted it.

FWIW, Doug, My LY6 had the back ports plugged off and I used the stock crossover on the front. I painted it gunmetal gray along with the valley cover and it looks pretty good. Than I just used a piece of hose to connect it to a port in the waterpump I drilled and tapped. Eric L

you dont need any real power to need all 4 vented....
even stock its a good idea to use all 4 vents...
you can easily make your own...
some 3an tube ends and fittings, some 3/16 brake line, a couple of the water/steam vent fittings...
I bought some on ebay for $24 for all 4, came with a 1/8npt thread, bought some 1/ to 3an right angle fittings
bought a 1x4 distribution block from Jegs
did teh plumbing myself
I wanna say I was at about $120 total....
I bent mine to fit with my SuperVictor, which has lines already running underneath it for my Nitrous Plumbing...
plus going around my valley cover outlet for the Vacuum pump...

I have no photos of how I configured mine, so let me describe it.....Hopefully you can follow my description. Please ask if you have any questions.
I bought 4 Wegner steam vent adapters (that have the 1/8NPT F'male thread) which are probably the same ones that Soundengineer used in his photo. To the adapters, I installed 90 degree brass fittings; 1/8NPT male x 1/8" self-aligning compression tube. I bought some 1/8" high temp nylon tubing from McMaster-Carr. They list two wall thicknesses, and I opted for the heavy wall; I believe I bought a coil of 25ft. I routed the four lines individually to a header tank which had the same 90 degree brass fittings.
I had some space issues which is why I opted for small diameter tubing that could easily be routed. From memory, I probably spent about about $50, 3 years ago.
I've had the car out about four or five times now, and the nylon tubing seems in tact. Nevertheless, I will keep an eye on it along with all my other systems as I believe it is wise to do with any new swap build.
