I put mine in back, based on the angle of the injectors. Probably not a big deal.

Mighty Mouse is some what right it is cleaner with the cross in front. However real men have no crossover but y-block to each rail. Like this!

LS1290 why does your vette intake have the inserts for the throttle bracket (Like for and F-body) Is you car older than a 01 and you just bought an intake? Off beat I know I was just curious. Looks good!

When you Y the system, obviouslly you go in single and Come out the top with 2 lines fedding your rails, but what about the return? Do you come off the back of the rails and Y them back into one also?

No both lines comeing of the back of the rails (-8an) go to the Pro-series regulator, then one (-8an) return! I was told this system will suport 1200hp? But I will only be at 800+rwhp so there is some safty room there!
