Default Economy Rails for LS1 intake that don't leak

I have researched and seen mixed results which worries me.

I'm looking for a good set of economy aftermarket rails for an LS1 intake.

I'm going with 80lb injectors and it'll be a turbo lm7 with around 650whp.

Are the leaks and issues really just caused by install error??

I am using Holley billet rails. They are about $100-$150 cheaper than the competition and make brackets to fit any injector/intake combination. I am using LS1 injectors on my LS3 intake.

Used a half dozen sets of these without issue. Used rails are generally $50-80

Use pipe tape or sealer on the NPT fittings and dont over tighten them. Good to go

What we're using.
Really nice finish, threads are smooth, made for o'ring fittings, not the nasty pipe threads, that look like Fido'sazz. Have center feed ports if you need them.
