I don't know a lot about this kinda thing, but I would definitely say that's a very very very bad idea. The fuel lines don't seem to be very thick or insulated...and header temperatures are HIGH. The air within the first inch around hot headers is probably well over 500 degrees I'd say. If the fuel gets too hot...well I don't know what would happen...I'd think the injectors would have a hell of a time shooting it out. And the power would SUCK.... Fuel works in the same kind of way air does...the cooler the better. Not to mention how dangerous it is having the lines that close to the headers....if that fuel superheats, well, who knows...it could even try to detonate. Move the lines!!
