Speed inc. steam pipe kit

Does anyone know if this item is still being produced? I remember Larry from Speed inc was making this kit available for the LT1 cars. Does anyone have a link to the complete kit and each of the parts needed to replicate it?

Thanks for any help.

Just call Speed Inc. I called them a few days ago and ordered a fuel line relocation kit. They don't even list Lt1s or the kit on their website anymore. They said they'd make one and ship it in about 3 days.

That looks like a good set-up, but will it clear the EGR pipe on street driven cars?

I did the same thing. About 90$ from summit for everything.

I'm sure it can be adjusted as such. I'm street driven, but no EGR. Here's a video I took that shows the clearance with the engine installed on an F-Body.

Excellent video!

Having said that, I think the EGR pipe wouldn't fit at all. Most likely, that's why GM used the "banjo" fittings on the cylinder heads, as they needed something that would stay very close to the heads, and provide maximum clearance.
