I haven't gotten to the stage of putting the rest of the intake on, but I appreciate the info. I can easily trial fit the runners tommorow. At one point, I looked into an SRI to see if it would reduce the amount I need to raise the engine lid. It also offered the option of relocating the TB. It's a bit spendy though for a minor gain in reducing engine "height". Thanks! Neil.
