Got my GTX manifold in today. He also has a set of GTX injectors that I wonder if I should have gotten.1963 Fairlane - future NSS drag car

Larry, are you using this intake just for easier fitment or for a future turbo?
Or maybe both?

I want to say both. Fitment on my low mileage black car, but I'm hoping after a cable G to put a rear turbo on it.
But after talking to the guy, unless I KNEW I was going turbo, I'm just going to hold off. They'd just flow too much and I'd risk washing my cylinders down and burning too much fuel.
The manifold is missing the TURBO sticker on it, which is fine with me, I'd rather not have it on there whether I have a turbo or not. Ideally I'd like to take the pad off and blast it to where it looks like it never had the pad.
Something else that would be cool would be to mill slots in it then blast the slots to look cast to match the valve cover, but now you're talking $$$ for purdiness. I'm not big into garish looking engine compartments (although I gotta admit, if it were polished it'd look COOL!!) I want it to look factory.1963 Fairlane - future NSS drag car
