Thanks for the help guys, looks like I will go the HP manifold route. While I'm not a cheapskate, I do choose carefully where to spend my money. Manifolds are easier, cheaper, and let me keep the stock clutch (maybe with a TTI modified z-bar?).
The guy that has them is more of an acquaintance than a friend. He does have good stuff but his prices are generally in the upper range of things. I will snoop around but if I find a set here or on line, shipping would negate any price savings pretty quick.
