Anyone using the "MOTOBLUE™ HP Series FUEL RAIL KIT" from RPM ?

Those are the same ones I got, but made by CVR. Mine are purple anodized though. Great piece to have.

I got mine from CPR also, but they ripped me off(didn't send all the parts they promised and I paid COD). I'll never do that gain. They took me for around $100.

If you order them, you will also need a boost sensitive fuel pressure regulator , about 6 feet braided line and fittings along with a fuel y-block to plumb. The 400.00 for the rails , 150.00 fuel pressure reg, 200.00 in braided line and fittings and 100.00 fuel y-block. Ive put 2 of these kits together but with all -8 (1/2 inch) braided feed and -6 ( 5/16)return along with a bulkhead in fuel sender ( you will then have to notch out support beam under the bed) and a y-block tying the 255s together and coming out in 1/2 inch line also.

I was thinking of getting a double piping out of the tank one from each pump and go double lines one to each rail , bad idea ?
Guess it is if one of the pumps brakes !

What kind of fuelfilter do You use ?

I'm telling you they stole around $100 of my money in April 2003. Do business with those thieves at your own risk.

Ive done 18 fuel kits like this including filter, line, adapters etc etc. All Quality parts. This converts a stock setup to an AN setup. And it bolts right in in 1 hour.

Does this make plug changes harder or easier? I heard with some aftermarket rails you have to pull them in order to change plugs?

You heard correctly. Aftermarket rails sit right on top of the coil-packs, so you've gotta remove the rails to get the coil packs and plugs out...
