Likely.  Nearly half the cost is due to my thought to replace the
plastic fuel "rails" with billet aluminum manifolds.  I also included
fittings to add a permanent fuel pressure pressure gauge, which is not
really necessary.

Sourcing things from multiple places adds a lot of shipping overhead.
I've not noticed that they're way out of line on their prices.  Not
cheap, but they don't really seem to be gouging either.

Maybe I have bad luck, most of the time when I search for this kind of
stuff on Google I end up with the same two or three sites, and then a
bunch of patent listings.
