Saleen492 · 03-31-2002, 07:33 PM

im running to PRO-M rails and im wondering how i should run the rails feed both to the rear and out both to regulator from the front. or can i run into the front passenger side and hook the rails together with a short piece of line and go out the front of the drivers rail to the regulator. its just SO much more money to run to both. thanks

It cost more money to run it to both rails but it is better. I have the aeromotive system and ran the pump to one side of the regulater, a line from the other side to the front pasenger rail, crossed over in back to the driver side rail, and put a plug in the front driver rail. It worked but I was having problems with the system.
I now have the pump line to a y-block and feed both rear sides of the rails, and the fronts go to each side of the regulater. No more problems except you may have to notch the distributer on the passenger side for the fitting on the fuel rail.

What kind of problems were you having?

I ran the feed line from the pump to the middle hole on the paxton rails, crossed over on the back, and ran a line from the front passenger rail to the regulator (all -8 braided). On the other side of the regulator (paxton), I ran a line to the nitrous soleniod (don't recall size, whatever came with the kit). Then I ran the -6 line back to the top of the fuel cell.

See anything wrong with this???

To give you guys a taste of some of the stunts I pull from time to time; when the car was dyno'd, I had the return line going back into the sump (big no, no... and Anderson either missed it or figured that if I was that stupid then I just have to learn the hard way) Luckily, no damage was done. I realized how f*cked up it was before it was too late!!

My life story -- learning the hard way!!

I still manage to have fun in the process...
Man, have I wasted alot of dough on that air-pump with wheels!!
I'm just beginning to realize that I spent 729 bills on a new Danny Bee belt drive (but boy is it bad ***!!)

I'll get my sh*t together one of these days...

I called Areomotive and they said the injecter farthest from the feed line would get fuel pulses from all the other injecters opening and closeing. He said if you feed both rails from the back, and the front ones go to the regulater it would act as a pulse damper for the injecters. It worked because my #5,and 6 were reading different then the other plugs.

Excellent! Thanks again...

Just another small project before I drop my motor back in (more fittings, more line, more time, more dough). Geeze!!!

I might as well get those solid rollers and a new cam and springs while I'm at it! Man I just put those heads together a couple weeks ago and torqued 'em on the motor.
And I've already started on the belt drive, though it would be a breeze to do a cam swap now rather than later on...

What would YOU do???
