The Girrrls haven't set a price yet!! The want to have a six port and Ren model complete first. The will come including injectors and bosses. You only need a throttle body. There are 2 versions of each, N/A or Turbo. The lower half, varies with engine model, the top is for N/A or turbo specific. Someone asked about a 20 B and Chrissi mentioned she needed a manifold gasket to proceed further on them. 

The lower half with injectors was only 2 lbs. The flange is CNCed then bolted to a 1 inch steel plate, heated to 600 degrees to have the tubes welded. This prevents any warping of the part during welding. All of the transitioning of the circular tubes to the intake shape is all done in the flange. The flange starts as a 1 inch thick plate and is CNCed into a work of art. 45,000 lines of code per engine model.

Ben, did you get any pictures of their manifold?  I just checked their web page and couldn't find anything on it there.  Did they mention the price? 
 
Last year at Paducah I was sure you were going to be flying your bird this summer so will give you pass there, but make sure you fly it to Paducah this year!  :)
