to be honest you dont need them these days with the better plenum covers and injectors around...the 83lbers work so well down low and still do way over 500 hp couple that with a hart plenum for example and youve got an inlet good for 600 hp and all for around £700!!

Agreed !!
Hart with wrc 8 inj is far cheaper & will flow much better, things have moved on since 1989.
