switching to TQ, which intake?

Love the thermoquads, but to get them just right, you need a strip kit to tune the jets & rods. Biggest issue I ever had with TQ's is the phenolic bases would often leak. Saw someone on EBay selling a TQ strip kit for $500. As much as I love TQ's, that is absolutely ridiculous!!!

stuff gets pricey when they don’t make them anymore and $500 is brain dead stupid.
I could see $200 though.
