Nice!!!! I thought you were going with Snapse?
I had HKS before too. I liked it but the vac line rubs on the hood so I switched. But with FMIC and new pipings and more clearance I might consider HKS again.

I had rubbing issues too when I had an HKS mounted just like you have yours. It was minor though and the worst that would happen is it rubs a small hole in the line connecting to that nipple and if so you can replace it with another piece of hose for very cheap.

Just keep an eye on it, because a hole in that line will cause a lean condition at idle when the valve is open. After I switched to a Synapse valve, I had a T in the line that I was using as a reducer with part of it capped and the cap popped off creating a vacuum leak in that line and I was getting CELs and 17-19 AFRs at idle.
