Fuel rail upgrade?

My fuel system for the KB will consist of a SCT MAF - 255Lb injectors - and a pair of 255lph hp walbros. I was thinking since I have my blower off for the swap I might do the rails also and add a regulator. I know JDM sells a ford rail that will accept an adjustable regulator and was considering doing that but I stumbled accross this last night ---->

Any thoughts on this or will what I have work at my HP level with the KB (~500 or so)

Bob

WOW - that should certainly work, but it just doesn't look like $1000 in parts in that pile. I'm sure it is though - those AN fittings are nasty expensive, as are the rails.

From what I understand, the kit offered in just a 97 5.4 factory Ford fuel rail with a removable regulator. Swap on an Aeroquip (or whatever) for a regulator and you should be golden.

What are Sal, Johnny and Jim running?

Just my $0.02 Bob - opinions only, I have not done this yet.

Just get the 98+ (might be 96+) fuel rail off a 4.6 mustang and swap the stock regulator for an aeromotive one. Thats what JLP and JDM both use on their 600rwhp trucks! Oh, those 255lb injectors might be a bit much

I thought it was a 97' 5.4L fuel rail?

255 lb injectors?

FYI: I know it's a typo.
