Default Contemplating Y block dual fuel rail line feed!

So I heard running a single fuel line to the fuel rails and having a crossover can cause some lean conditions due to fuel transients..

Anyone here heard or read of someone hurting their motor because of this? I just want to know if it's worth the time to do the dual fuel rail option..

Motor is a 76mm turbo ls6, fuel line is -8 an, -6 an return line.

We have done around 1000 crank hp on a few setups on e85 with stock rails with no issues at all, IMO your 76 won't make enough power to need more than stock rails.

I mainly worried about one side of my injectors possibly going lean, the side of the fuel rail that the crossover connects to..

I'm gonna be daily driving it alot so just thought I would ask about any horror stories

this is how mine is set up as well... Doesn't look bad at all. I like the regulator mounted at the rail rather than the strut tower or somewhere.

We run the rails in series on 1100rwhp cars without problem using a -8 crossover.
