[QUOTE="sn8kbite, post: 1853128, member: 4325"] Just got off the phone with CPR,i was informed that they make the Motoblue rails for RPMoutlet. These rails will clear a KB according to CPR however they have never tryed them with a whipple which is RPM outlets mistake for posting that they will work with a whipple. We discussed possible solutions to making the rails work with the whipple and the gentleman is going to discuss it with the machinist i assume and call me back later today i hope. From what i can see they need to lower the centerline of the fuel feed hole roughly 3/16" this will allow that same amount of material to be milled from the top of the rail where the intake plenum lays across the rail. The only other feasable solution would be to have the injector holes in the lower intake machined an additional 3/16" in depth,then have the pedestals that the rails bolt to machined down that same amount. I will try to post some photos later this evening. By the way RPM outlet basically told me tough luck after quoting me 325 dollars for the kit and then billing me 358 dollars after i canceled my order for the CPR rails i had already ordered from another outfit. Chris at RPMoutlet asked George for the ok to make the deal in order to get me to cancel my order with the other distributor and was given the ok by George. Chris calle dme back later that same day and informed me that the rails would be delayed 1 day before they could shipped because according to george they had to be placed in the mill and machined to clear the whipple. I said no problem,a week goes by and i call to see why the rails have not arrived yet and i get Dustin who put me on hold for an endless period of time and then comes back and says he found my order but it hasnt shipped yet due to the fact that they dont have any of the 8 an fittings. Keep in mind when this order was placed i was told that they had 30 of these kits on the shelf ready to go. A week and 1/2 later the rails arrive and obviously you know the rest of the story,the rails were full of machine oil and debris and dirt.The polished finish has scratches all over them especially the one that they eveidently had to clamp and machine,the anodized fittings on the fuel lines are scratched thru to the metal. Last issue is the fact that the FRP sensor can not be bolted on without modifying the bracket on the side of the whipple to move the solinoids back approximately 1/2". Now i am stuck with no fuel rails,my engine is ready to go back in the car for the last time however i cant put the motor back in until i have fuel rails because it is to much of a hassel to try and do them with the motor in the car,du eto the positioning of one of the whipple hold down bolts. RPMoutlets solution rather than offer me a fair price so that i can machine my intake or take other measures to make these rails work is this. Box them up and send them back we will return your money. If i am not mistakin this fly by night operation takes 15% restocking fee on returned merchandise? Should i just call my bank and do a charge back? [/QUOTE]
