Since my BBK rails also feed from the side, I'm going to run a crossover in the front and then run the rear pass side rail into my FPR
Here are a couple pics:

How much clearance is there between that 90* fitting and the firewall?

A 90° -AN o-ring to -AN fitting should give you a bit more room.

Aeromotive was trying to sell me this
http://www.shopatron.com/products/pr...AER15665/415.0

Bit I didn't need any more room. If it fits, it fits
Plus, I have a -10AN breather line back there.

Are you feeding your rails from the center? If so can you take a picture of that for me at the rail? Did you run a new fuel line?

You can see it in this pic. It is the silver fitting going up into the rail. I didn't run a new feed line. I wasn't having any fueling issues whatsoever so Ill keep the feed line until I upgrade turbos.

BTW, I got the car on the ground and drove it. No OIL leaks so far, which I am happy to report. I only got to about 5psi but I would hope the (2) -10AN lines would do a good enough job of venting the crankcase.

Still have a TINY leak from the same spot of the turbine housing / exhaust flange that was there before, but it is significantly reduced. I would assume that the flange is still a little warped, despite me tediously using a file to make it true. Something that small I can live with, for now.

All is well and I hope to have some footage of me taking down an A&A Vortech C6 this weekend On a closed course, obviously.

I'm going to try to draw a picture in paint and see if you can tell me if that will work with the Aeromotive rails.

Also are the threaded ends on the rails -8an?

Ok, I'll take a look at it.
Yes, all ports are -8AN

Milan, that looks like it will be just fine.
What you may think about doing is using a T in the rear of the drivers side rail. When I spoke with Aeromotive about the center feeding point, they had concern with the rear 2 injectors on that side and being out of the natural flow of fuel. This is the reason why I went ahead and added a rear crossover as well.

If you use a T on the drivers rail, you could have the cross over in the rear and have a port to run to your FPR.

Okay so what if I run the crossover in the rear, use the opposite two ends for the feed from that special fitting and then run a line from the middle into my FPR, do you think that would make sense?
