Alright just kidding about the perpendicular part. I was wondering if anyone was running their fuel rails parallel instead of one after the other? I was wondering if there were any problems running them this way. I was researching some and saw where you could "Y," the fuel line off and run it through each rail, then into a dual feed RRfpr and run the return out the fpr. I saw a diagram via REteds fc3spro site that I was basing the previous explanation on. I was already eliminating the pulsation damper but have heard some people knock the idea of just using a banjo bolt claiming that it will be hard on the fuel line and what not. I am also using a different fuel rail for the secondaries, so after I read some about running them in parallel rather than series it sounded like a good idea, but I wasn't sure about any ill effects from it or other ideas that are better. Thanks.

The aftermarket fpr you use will provide the pulsation dampening you're looking for. Simply replacing the pd with a banjo bolt is not recommended. I would go ahead with -an lines/fittings to finish up the fpr install, but that's just me.

I have my car setup this way, all SS braided hoses, AN fittings, and a aeromotive FPR. I run around 45PSI, and you can hear the pulsations in the fuel system at idle. I might install a pulsation damper and see if it helps. You can even hold the SS braided lines and feel the pulsations coinciding with the sound, it's most prominent on the FPR housing.



Other than that, it seems to work just fine.
