Default plumbing fuel line

can i just pull the valve out of the rail and hook my fuel rail straight to the hose going to my fuel noid? or should i use that special fitting? and to fill the holes this is on a stock fuel system for a 00 z28 with a nos noszle direct port kit.

What kind of HP are you running on this DP system? Not sure you will be able to get enough fuel if you are taking it from the stock rails/pump depending on how big you are going..

On my wet NX kit, I did just that. Get a valve core wrench, pull the stem from the fuel rail valve, and hook the hose directly to the rail.

125 shot wont be a problem at all.. Did you mean Direct port? Or are you just using a single shot nozzle?

Maybe others should chime in, but I was always told to run atleast a 200 shot if you are running a direct port system... Now you are probably like me and wondering why? As it was explained to me, when you are suppling less than a 25 shot to each nozzle, the flow is so low that it doesnt atomize correctly.. Of course this will vary depending on the nozzle, however I learned this info from NX and was also told the same exact thing from edelbrock.. When talking to NX I was referring to their Pirahna nozzle..
Just a little something to think about!
FYI if you are using a controller pulsing the system you can run a 200 shot at 65% and it will work fine..

This doesnt mean you cant run a Direct Port 125 shot, only that it is not an optimum setup.
