It's not standard on it but I do offer it and I did do it for free on one of the hats I sold. Did you happen to get that one? lol

Bruce, another thing you can do is run 10 gauge power and ground wires from the fuel hat connector to each fpdm, on the gt setup with single fpdm we did before and after testing on this and it dropped around 5% duty cycle across the board.

I dont have direct results for doing just the line from the wheel well up to the rail but the stock rail efi fitting is indeed the biggest restriction the inside diamter of that fitting is around 4mm.

That would be fairly painless too.

PM coming on the fuel line.

Alright due to demand I'm going to start offering pre-built hard line to rail setups, this setup is a direct swap for the stock soft line remving the restiction and increasing line size. The efi rail fitting as you can see below has a much larger inner diameter, as well as the hose ends and larger 8an hose. Then the the final efi fitting to go to your hard line at the strut tower to finish it off. (Available in the startlite aqp or ss braid ptfe 8an hose from Fore)

Stock ford efi rail fitting below.

Upgraded efi fitting in the kit.

And here is a shot showing the stock line portion being replaced that runs from the back of the strut tower/wheel up to the railsl. This setup works for stock rails or any aftermarket rail that attaches to the stock line.

115 for the kit that goes from the pump to the rails?


No this does not replace the hard line running under the car from the hat, it just relplaces the softline from the hardline connection at the driverside wheel well to the rail removing the restriction of the rail fitting on the soft line. Will also make it easier to disconnect/connect the line to the rail in the future as well.


that's a good price!!! :thumb2: ( from shock tower to fuel rail )

I thought this shot looked very familiar as I posted it a couple years ago after building my fuel line. Glad to see it is going to good use :beer:

Isn't this the same setup we did on my 2010? I know you took pics of that....?
