Going the route of parallel rails, but remain unsure as to how you guys are running the fuel lines either from the tank or from the existing fuel line to the rails and then the return from the rails as well. Is it as simple as putting on some of those quick connect -an fittings? Or are you guys doing something witchy to make this happen. Any information in regards to this would be greatly appreciated.

What are your power goals and budget for fuel? Whats your pump and injector size?

Looking for atleast 600whp for daily shenanigans and a possible ~700whp max effort tune here and there. Gonna go the route of dual intank 255's and 80# injectors. The budget is unlimited (within reason) as I'm going to do it over however long it takes to acquire the right parts. Not going to rush the fuel system regardless of how long it holds me up.

The twin 255s may give you an issue, but they should handle what you want without an issue. Just know if you push em hard with a high base fuel pressure they will not like it.

I know my car and a friend's F1a car, both ~140 trap cars, have stock fuel lines with no issue of fuel starvation.

Just be sure you have a good 1:1 fuel regulator and you should be good to go. Adjustable is helpful if you do run into fuel injector duty cycle issues, mine is cranked to LS1 base fuel pressure so my 80# sticks are happy.

Twin 255s should work fine. SNM summed it up well.

Perhaps you could send me a few pictures of your fuel line/rail/regulator setup shownomercy? I take it you're running the stock feed into a y? Or are you saying stock fuel lines as in completely stock all the way to the rail and back?

I have aftermarket rails, so one inlet is straight from pump and then the two rails are in series so the exit of the other rail hits the regulator, then return to tank.

I run the stock hardlines under car and 6an SS braided for the engine bay side.
