hey holley employees as you can see stangkiller is have issues at high power levels i would bet that its because the injector is not spraying down on the same spot in that bank ..... can you confirm or denie that y'all are working on a revised ls3 lower and will you be issuing vouchers for us that have the poor quality version to get the updated version for free
I dont want to even think about having issues with mine

I'm just going to send mine back and run an LS3 intake meanwhile they either fix it or the Edelbrock LS3 intake comes out. Not messing with this BS. Sucks I sold my hood to run this ******* intake, and I'm not even going to use it. Will never waste my time with Holley products in the future...

I received my LS7 version. The injector positioning looks good. One of the bolt holes on the top cover is slightly off center, not much meat in this area but I dont think it should be an issue.

I heard there was a improperly machined batch, but that everything is corrected now. If you still have a lingering issue, contact the company you bought it from, or email me at john@motorsports-media.com and I will get the email to someone at the firm.
Thanks PSJ!

hey PSJ
maybe you can convince them to send me a new lower? since there all fixed now.... the techs at holly basically said all the issues i presented were cosmetic and had no effect on performance but this latest issue is HUGE safety hazard and COULD BLOW UP YOU CAR!!!!
im now on the 5th one and into it for porting work and a $1400 direct port custom plumbing job and i ran into this see below sure glad i checked before i caught my whole car on fire.... but now im into this intake for 1750 worth of porting and pluming not including the cost of the intake itself
so when the fuel rail pressures up and shifts the (ls3) injectors out of the fuel rail and sprays everywhere and sets fire to you ride.....

I just recieved mine and I just got off the phone with Holley Tech. I gave them the link to this so hopefully they will address what is going on here.
As for mine I had to run a bottom hole tap in every hole. Not a big thing but they tap did have to cut alot to clean up the holes. Symple fix for those of us that have the tools and know how to fix.
I also ran into injector issues. Mine is a little differetn then yals issues. My bosses are machined down so far they fuel rail holes would not line up once the injectors were seated all the way. I run the taller LS1 style injector. I was able to mark, drill and tap new fuel rail holes between the two existing holes to line everything up. But if I had the shorter LS3 style injector I would have had to weld up a new boss unider the existing ones and drill and tap them to make it all fit right. Not something as symple to fix as running a bottom hole tap.
I am not presently asking for a replacement manifold since I was ablr to "finish" the manifold.
two fo the runners are machined quite a bit on the outside for the intake manifold bolt holes. This kills any room inside the port for porting those two runners. Ii is not an issue for me to orrect because I can tig this up myself and fix it myself if need be.
Still all and all I would expect any Holley product to fit correctly from the gitgo. Usually any Holley product you by is ready to bolt up without you having to finish the quality fit. Not really what I have come to expect from Hooley.
