fuel rail plumbing advice I am putting an ls6 intake on my soon to be assembled 408, with nitrous for my s10. here are some pics of my setup, does it look like it will be fine? I have a walbro 255 in tank and 6 an lines the whole way with a corvette regulator about 3 feet from the tank
as you can see, i have my gauge on the passenger side, and fuel for nitrous will be pulled from the driver side, it will cross under my TB and go into the solenoid bolted to the passenger side head.
granted i have firewall space (im not sure yet the motor isnt in it yet) i want to do my inlet straight in and my crossover on the Tee
will this give me adequate fuel delivery?

depending on space, I might just tee into the crossover tube because that tee fitting on the end of my rail is protruding about 2 inches towards my firewall. not sure if itll clear

I would run a cross over line in front so you have even fuel pressure and flow to all injectors. Less chance of starving one and getting a hot spot (running lean) in one cylinder.
I would also put my pressure gauge on the drivers side, makes your crossover tube straight accross and not at an angle. Plus you have just a bit more room on the drivers side. But that is purely cosmetic.

Also, turn your "TEE" forward so that the part (in its current position) that the hose is coming from is stuck in the rear of the rail. That would give you the almost 2 inches of clearence.
Right now your tee is pointing to the right side of the car, make it point forward.
Does that make sense?

Keep the TEE fitting where it is at. Just position the fitting so that the top of the TEE fitting runs parallel to the fire wall. You basically need this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/aer-fbm2282/overview/

I have both crossovers front and rear. I am connecting the front crossover to the inlet fuel line because if its in the back I cant get to it if there are problems.
And I had problems, forgot to tighten it and it pissed fuel all over the place, so I had to take the intake off to get to it. Wont make that mistake again!

yea pull fuel from the rail for a wet shot, exactly, no more than a 150, which from what ive read for a stock rail is fine, and i have a walbro 255 and a c5 regulator setup, i should be fine. thanks for the input guys! it helped alot!
