I have read good things about 3.3 swap for FI applications.
I already have the Quaife and the swapped pumpkin does as well.

Just got off the phone with PowerFab. Don't see any problem with having the Z ready for pick-up when I'm home on July 27th. Other than the body work and maybe the rear-pumpkin swap I'll be driving her at full potential while home on R&R!!!

Update:

We are waiting for the intake piping to come back from PolyDyn. Once the piping comes back the pumpkin will be swapped out and tuning will be done. PowerFab is going to make a coolant overflow tank since a factory one will not work with a twin intake setup. Also the windsheild washer resevoir will have to be replaced/relocated as well since the JWT one does not work with doing a twin intake setup. Lastly, the gauges are almost done with the new wideband gauge.

OK... Car has been on/off the dyno. Last pull was 463/419 on 9lbs on pump. Working out some minor issues. We are currently working on a lean issue on the right bank. PowerFab checked the timing and it looks like it jumped a tooth. The primary tensioner and oil passage ways in the covers were all clean but the tensioner itself felt exceedingly spongy. So they are putting a new one in and re-timing the motor tomorrow. Can't wait for 16-18psi pull results.

Do you have pictures of the twin intakes and the over flow set up? its a source of frustration for me...I have an SFR 3:1 tank but it isnt made to fit big rads and it will need some work to get it all set up. I did have an old set up with the overflow behind the grill and an ARC catch can that I should have kept...but then I had an ARC oil cooler that I was going to put behind the grill....but sold it too

I'll try to get some pics. Really can't see the intakes. Still having fuel issues. Had to sell the Cosworth plenum and back to OEM with a spacer. Also losing fuel pressure above 10psi. New basket will be swapped in.

What was wrong with the cosworth, leaking at the endcaps?

The cams were too big and the Cosworth turbulence was creating a 2pt AFR difference between banks.

I am more interested in the cans/tanks you are using than the intakes. I am running C2 cams with a cosworth intake and I don't have any issues.
