My car is a 03 z w/an 02 fuel sys---early 03...we ran out of fuel with stock line at 580 rwhp---383 stroker,,we installed a -6 return line and stock 97-98 fuel rails and adjustable regulator set at 60 lbs/ no vacuum which gave us a little more hp.Just change the fuel filter to a 97-98 and it is a direct fit for 97-98 rails. I now have to do a -8 or -10 feed to go with the -6 return to go above 725 hp--i am detuned now..it depends on how much power you are going to make..Been there done it and got a headache... Dave

Dave, I am interesting in gathering and installing the 98 fuel rail and lines into my 99. Do you have any part numbers or install instructions? What did you use?

Thanks!

not in front of me but can have all part #'s this wednesday,,,you can email me at vetter345@aol.com and i can reply quicker..i am only on the forum every couple weeks....the fuel rails are factory 97-98, you can use adjustable regulator, but stock is better in my opinion..also get a 97-97 fuel filter, and aeromotive -6 line to connect to stock return pre-filter..you will run a new line from engine to old return line, main fuel feed remains stock...also how much power are you going to push because there is a limit to stock setup...Dave
