LEADERS IN CUSTOM FINISHES

We offer more choices of finishes, options, and attention to small details than any other custom induction builder. To that end, custom inductions are created here without limits. The combination of finishes you can select from allows you to create a one-off assembly to suit your taste and set your car apart from the rest when the hoods open. We guarantee that nobody will walk by and yawn when you open your hood. Instead, jaws will drop, photos will be taken, and questions will be asked.

BEYOND PAINT: CERAKOTE®

Colors and finishes are whatever you want them to be. We now offer the full range of Cerakote® finishes on all of our components. Cerakote’s high-temperature coatings are the ultimate solution for parts such as exhausts, headers, turbos and manifolds. It is an extremely attractive, non-glossy all-business finish that is known for its ability to stand up in any environment, impervious to fuels or solvents, and is ideal choice for a pro-touring car. You can select any Ceracote color from this chart: https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-coating. We are proud to be the only custom induction shop in the world offering Cerakote® as a finishing choice. Cerakote® costs no more to apply than custom-matched base/clear paint, so the cost is the same for either type of finish. If durability is what you want, Cerakote® is the best finish to select.

All manifolds, throttle bodies, and carburetors may be ordered in Cerakote®, any custom-matched base/clear paint color, or show-polished.

For a custom-matched paint finish, you can supply the paint code or a spray-out for an exact color-match. Clear coat can be applied in high gloss or a semi-gloss finish.

Our optional chrome hardware packages provide additional detail. All screws, springs, tabs, levers, linkage pieces, fuel blocks, plugs, bolts, and nuts can be chrome-plated to complete the customized look, particularly on painted assemblies.

Black fittings, black braided hose, clear fuel fittings, or chrome-plated Fragola fittings may also be ordered.

We offer custom anodizing of your aluminum components in any color you desire.

A variety of velocity stack heights and styles are also available, along with special linkages designed to make any type of installation easier.

Below are photos showing some finished units and detail photos of some of the options. Click on any of the images to see the blowups.

One of our popular options is black anodizing.  This can be done on any aluminum parts, such as the fuel rails and air horns as seen here.  The effect is greatly enhanced by polishing the components before we send them to be black anodized.  This closeup shows some of the detailing on an all-black LS3 semi Cross-ram that also has black anodized fuel rails.

This LS3 EFI was built for Bruce Conwell's 49 "WIckcad" Cadillac.  We color-matched the throttle bodies to his engine's color theme, ceramic-coated the manifold, and added 4" tall air horns.


Customization doesn't have to cost extra money, as seen here.  This is our standard Ford 427FE Weber-type  fuel injection unit with our optional (no extra cost) 3-1/2" stacks.  If you have the hood room, taller stacks completely change the appearance of any EFI.  Built for Frank Micknak.


Here's a 351C Weber-type fuel injection system finished in Sunlit Gold, a color we developed based on an old Ford factory color from days past.  When a customer needs a beautiful neutral accent color, Sunlit Gold is the perfect choice, as it goes with anything and looks especially nice on a polished manifold.  

This assembly also has 3-1/3" stacks and our faux Weber data plates...an added detail that gives our Weber EFI's an especially authentic appearance.

Throttle bodies and carburetors can be finished in any color in base/clear, or in Cerakote, which is a $475 option for either.  You can send us a spray-out or the code for your color.

This is a Ford unit on a custom-made manifold with carburetors and manifold finished in basecoat/clearcoat Argent Silver, a very attractive neutral color that finishes the assembly nicely.  The subtle color is set-off perfectly with all other parts chrome plated to create a beautiful look. This one was built for Peter Ferrer.

We built this tall-stack LS3 fuel injection unit for Richard Linsmeier with Weber-style throttle bodies painted Brandywine to match his car.  This asdsembly is mounted on a bright manifold with 2" risers added for additional height, with chrome 5" velocity stacks to make sure it comes through his hood.  The 5" wide-mouth stacks seen here fit the Weber carburetors and Weber-style throttle bodies.

Here's one of our bigblock Chevy units, fully polished, which is a $2990 option.  Full polishing includes every piece of the assembly with the metal linkage parts chrome plated.  Nothing is left untouched. If you require the ultimate custom induction system, this is it.  

Our lead time for these show units runs about 10-12 weeks, as there is always a long waiting line at Advanced Plating in Tennessee https://www.advancedplating.com/site/ our trusted polisher for over four decades.  Our polished assemblies look like chrome and they're second to none.

Shown here is a bigblock Chevy conventional-style EFI with standard 2" air horns.

"Triple Black" on Crossram

Crossram with "Triple Black" finish and brushed nickle hardware, built for Chuck Brewer, in Ohio. Manifold finish is Stealth Black ceramic, carburetor finish is satin black, done in house. Velocity stack finish: Transluscent black powder coat over chrome (called "Black Chrome"). Fuel lines use black hose with black fittings by Redhorse.

This crossram unit was done for a deuce coupe in Florida owned by Norm Gavin. 

All trim is chrome and the manifold was polished smooth before it went out for ceramic coating. This photo also shows the DCOE debris screens in stacks.

Polished manifold

A lot of customers ask for a polished manifold, which is available on any assembly.  Polishing prices range from $875 to $1100, depending on the type of manifold.  Some are easier to polish than others so the price depends on the degree of difficulty for the polisher.  Call to get the price for your manifold type.

Velocity Stack and Air Horn Options

Our 8-stack systems are available with a variety of velocity stack and air horn choices.  

Our Weber carburetion and Weber-type EFI's  can be ordered with any size stacks ranging from 32mm (1-1/4")  to 5" in height.  This shows the 32mm stacks used for the Daytona Coupes. 

One of our latest offerings is this ultra-short air horn trim for the 50mm throttle bodies, which comes with screen inserts as seen here.  These are the lowest finishing pieces available for any 50mm EFI when hood clearance is a critical issue.  These allow an EFI to fit under just about any hood.

Call or email us with your clearance requirement and engine type, and we'll tell you the shortest height we can build an EFI for your engine.

Our newest option for 48IDA's is these 3-1/2" stacks in polished aluminum.  These come with their own snap-on screens, as shown.  They are sold as a package and can be run with or without the screens.  If our 5" stacks are too tall and the stock 2-1/4" stacks are too short, this is the perfect answer to that stack height dilemma.

Tall straight-style chrome stacks are available for our IDF carburetion units.  These are the 6" stacks, and they also come in 4".

These polished billet stacks are not for everybody at $925 per set, but if you're building a serious show car, they are handmade...not a standard production part sitting on the shelf. They come with screens, as shown.

Thse are the 48IDA versions of the billet stacks. The screens are included in the package. These are the same price as the DCOE stacks, at $925 per set.
