It looks like the kind where the nozzles sit inside the injectors. It's like a direct port without drilling and tapping for the nozzles.

those direct ports cause a vacume on the injectors and tend to be very hard to tunr on nitrous from what i heard....but i like them, just need to be fixed somehow

I don't see it causing a vacuum more than distribution problems.

yeah finding a belt for the Alt. relocation was the hardest part. My fav part was walking into auto zone asking for a belt that was not vehicle spefic and the first thing they asked me was what vechile is it for. every place did that to me so i said F it and ordered it on line.

Still waiting on finding a super victor to post the new pics
