AEM fuel rail?

I didnt know this was out but, 2K racing the banner at the top of the site shows it for sale, for $129. What exactly would a new fuel rail do? Would it help performance wise?

Not if the engine is stock. It probably has a bigger bore size than the stock one, so that you can run increased fuel pressures without too much restriction. It probably also has a return line attachment for a return line conversion. Other than that it just looks pretty. Well, since it's aluminum it also soaks up heat easier and lets go of heat easier. If you have something that prevents radiant heat from warming it up, then I guess it also dissipates some heat and you'll have colder fuel entering the combustion chambers. We're talking a minute improvement though, so don't even expect a 1 horsepower increase.

The rail will do you no good unless you running forced induction like turbo or super charger. It only allows more flow of fuel for big power bolt ons.

According to AEM the fuel rail will not be out untill March/April.
It has a port on it for N20 so that you do not have to cut your fule line and splice in a "T" connector.

NO...you would sitlll have to use a wet kit for N2O. I heard zex is coming out with one for cars without a return fuel line.
kits to get Nitrous Express, Nitorus Oxide Systems. Wet only
