It's hard to see, but I did have some heat shields between the headers and filter/regulator.

I've already got the go ahead from the wife to twin turbo this time around.

Just rubber lines? Does the Ls1 have the same high pressure pump design as the later model Ls engines?

My Ly6 is like 54 psi of pressure. A lot of the fuel line that I see for sale at most auto parts stores is not recommended for that pressure...

Was it EFI hose? And what type of hose clamps? EFI hose clamps or worm gear style hose clamps?

Good point on the fire extinguisher, but I don't really see how it matters where the car was built. I build all of my cars under a carport, most days I'd pray for a shed.

All LS engines run 58psi.

"Fuel injection hose" is rated for higher pressure (200psi?) than the regular fuel hose.

It was actual fuel injection hose with the screw and plate clamps, not worm gear. I think they just had some age on them and couldn't take it anymore.

Plenty of the GM Quick Disconnect lines at the Junk Yard..that is what I have adapted to use on my setup.

I have built 20+ cars on rubber hose, clamps and zip ties. Never a failure. The key is in the planning-and testing. Never mount a regulator off a rail with a brass fitting. Wrap any line that will see even mild heat. Use push lock fitting AND clamps (although a good push lock will never leak, and never come apart. I ALWAYS test the lines at max pressure and check for leaks any time I service the car. (take the regulator to full load. or clamp the line)
