Default cooler fuel better???

I posted this in another section, but didn't get great results. I remember going to the track and some guys would coil fuel line in a metal can and put ice in it. Is cooler fuel better? Ever felt the fuel rails on your ls1 those damn things are hot. Could we benfit from cooler fuel ie. heat reflective tape on the feul rails. Pros/cons what do you guys think??

Do a search @ www.camaroz28.com in the advanced tech section i believe, this was discussed and i believe that it wouldn't make as huge of an impact on a EFI car that runs such high pressure opposed to a carb with very low pressure

i dont remember why, but do a search. Only in the extreme cases will it help

the case given was Indy F1 racing with 40+ psi of boost

I think the difference on a FI car would be practically immeasurable.

You don't have vapor lock or fuel atomization problems with FI.

Theoretically,if the cold can was big enough and could get the fuel cold
enough,it would pass through the rails faster than it would a Carb and
not really have a chance to heat up.
In actuallity,I don't think it'll make a damn bit of difference. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
