I have a set of aeromotive fuel rails that I bought and no matter how you turn them the brackets on the rails will not mount into the factory holes. I tried posting this in the fuel section and no response so I though I would try here because there have to be people running them. I have only found a pic of one set and there are mounted on the little brackets on either side of the intake and not in the factory holes. That makes them able to move in my opinon. Gas bursting onto a hot turbo not a good day. Any pictures or advice would help.Thanks

Do they not line up or are they just to high? I had to flip my brackets upside down from the way they were out of the box.

Ive Aermotive rails on mine. I dont remember having any difficulties with fitting them...

Well, aside from using the Siemens 57lb injectors and the wiring plug sits slightly higher, which meant it fouled my rails. Little work with the grinder and it was sorted.

There are about a quarter inch off on both sides. The holes just will not line up on them. Well I decided to do the smart thing and buy some FAST rails so there on there way now. Anyone want an extra set of aeromotive fuel rails for $100.00??? :(

FAST? Why not some Nasty rails we have been selling fuel rails for 4 1/2 years for the LS1 and never had a fitment issue. I also have a complete line kit to hook directly to your factory feed line.

Post a pic, perhaps someone sent you the wrong rails ??

Although they are really just a bit of extruded tubing with a bracket bolted onto the side.
Hard to imagine how badly wrong they could be, if indeed they are the correct rails

Maybe those rails are for a LS2 intake. The fuel rail mounting is a little different on the LS2.
