Default Fuel system question

O.k. when using individual lines per fuel rail and coming from the the back by the fire wall what degree fitting is needed? 45 or 90?

Basically will be feeding two lines from a y under the car into the rails from the back. Out the front of the rails into a combiner and then into the Aeromotive regulator. Feeds will be 8AN and return will be 6 AN.

You will need two 90s as 45s will be too close to the firewall, you may have a hard time fitting a 90 to the input of the drivers side rail as it is very tight. If you use a Aeromotive rail there is a mid output or input hole which you could also use. You should also look at taking the two outputs (6 or 8) into the regulator and then use a 6 return. I use (and many others) a 8 into the pass side rail with a 90 and then loop around the front to the drivers side and then out that mid line I was speaking of. I am in Viginia right now, too bad I do not have my car here. If you need any pictures I'm sure many can post or I can when I get back to cali Friday.

Can't loop in the front or the rear as I have the Kenne Bell and I am thinking fuel delivery is better with the two independent lines for feed and two 6AN returns to the regulator (in the engine compartment) and then using 6AN to the tank will give the best results as this will in the end be a 900 rwhp setup. I talked to Speed Inc who just did a Warhawk APS TT and said 45's should work but if they do not then I will just buy the 90's. It is very tight on the passenger side of the Kenne Bell as the coolant lines for the Intercooler run there.

I have a 45 on the passenger side and a 90 on the drivers. On the drivers fuel rail I do not use the hole in the end, I have one located a few inches up like the stock fuel rail connects.

In my profile there is a picture that shows most of the connections I have.
