What to tell the machine shop

I run a Clifford with MPFI. I have a MS3 Pro ecu to run the FI.That intake had nitrous bosses, I drilled those for the injector bosses. At one point in time I had a AussieSpeed Hurricane intake. I sold it without ever running it and went with a Clifford. The Aussiespeed has the long runners that can add torque at certain RPM, and with MPFI I was not concerned about pre heat or fuel distributor. I do have a plan of adding a supercharge at some point in time, so that eliminated any need for a long runner manifold. I am familiar with water heat to provide an intake hot spot. It is worthwhile for carburetor applications.
For an intake, I believe that either would be a fine choice. The installation and running a throttle linkage will be easier on the Clifford. The AS will have more of a wow factor.

the short runner Aussie should be about the same as the Clifford, I have the Aussie Hurricane ( really long runners ). have been considering swapping it for a shorter
runner since I plan on adding boost at some point.
