Nah, wont do that until after the wedding. This one has sentimental value that we want to drive away in it from the wedding. Our first date was her watching me pull a transmission out. Figured it was a good way right off the bat to see if she would squawk at the truck hobby

The one above is 1" and will be 6061
Phenolic is a real pain to machine...I found one place that could do it, but they arent happy about it and lead time is in the several week range. I should have the one above (minus the groove for the oring) by the end of the week. Still in the prototype phase.
I plan to spray meth before the rotors so I really dont think heat will be that big of an issue.

Oh and here is the lower manifold and shows what I decided to do with the fuel lines

On the back of the passenger side is a T fitting; one side is the feed, one goes directly into the rail, and the other side crosses over at the back. The front of the rails will use the whipple fuel line to connect to each other. The fitting on the middle of driver side rail will bleed off pressure to the regulator. So this way fuel travels at both ends between the rails. The inner diameter of the rails is smaller than I would like (3/8" ish), so I am hoping this will make up for that.

You are miles ahead in terms of thinking about the blower compared to me.
