I've seen people mod these to suit the Red Top engine, has anyone got any details and are they benificial?

I think you need a specially made adapter flange to enable the X20XEV hose to be fitted.

You need a adaptor plate as Novasport said.........

Aaaaah, that looks simple enough, is there any benifit aside from removing the SFi Box? Any notable gains?
