Not to bump up your future parts bill but some (all?) of our vendors offer aftermarket fuel manifolds ("rails"); I assume you'll be replacing the fuel hoses between injectors and manifold(s). I'm not saying this is a common issue but I've heard that corrosion (maybe mostly salt belt areas?) can adversely affect the metal "cap" on the stock fuel manifold. Neil.
