Default Sunday Fuel Rail Project

Last Sunday, I finally installed all of my engine bay fuel rail modifications. I just didn't like how my intake had cluttered with the addition of the Lingenfelter LNC-2000, the hard plumbed Nitrous Outlet and the LS2 fuel rail. Plus, I was worried about fuel distribution with the stock rails after a friend melted a piston, attributing it to bottlenecks in fuel delivery.

My plan was to relocate the solenoids to the headlight area, build a manifold coming off the feed line from the tank and feed each bank with their own line (to avoid a crossover). While I haven't yet mounted the brackets because I need to rewire the N2O, I got everything set up... and love it!

Alright, so there are a few other changes captured in the different pictures, can you identify them all?

It does look better. Is there any disadvantage going with the non-hard lines for the nitrous plate?

Also you bought 6LE's new hood struts; how do you like them? Very nice overall!

Thanks, guys! Rise, I don't know if there is a disadvantage. As far as I'd guess, the disadvantage would be the longer lines from the solenoids.

As far as the 6le hinges, I do like them. They clear up space and look great, my only gripe is they required me to do the wire mod. I didn't want to, but it does clean things up a little.
