I guess it depends how you use them, what fuel, fuel pressure etc etc.

E85 Fuel. Whatever pressure that fuel requires.

Or maybe a better question: Who sells a custom fuel rail set up thats made for big power?

Just a suggestion, it might be easier if you just condensed all your questions about your build into 1 thread instead of asking a question in a new thread every couple weeks. I know you were back and forth...first blower, than turbo, now that Harrop positive blower, but in general stuff like fuel is going to be required for all the setups when you're over 1000whp.

If you were to modify it for a dedicated feed into each rail I'm sure it would support a lot of power safely.

Which shouldnt be too hard to do, but of brazing or if material suited it could maybe have some fittings welded to it

Thanks. I've never done this so never thought of a T fitting to split the flow to each rail. There's not many available, so I guess I'll go ahead and buy it while its available.

Turbo...there's a ton of items involved. A huge mess of items. I have it all except the turbo and new fuel injectors, and maybe another couple little things.

Supercharger.....very simple comparatively. Fuel system, rails, injectors, install the SC'er and tune it. And install the extremely easy to-do heat exchanger. And the 2" headers.

To extremely different builds......

That OEM piece has a single line then a bit of a strange tee to feed both

Just cut them off and adapt a suitable line to each rail. Or start cutting/brazing/welding or whatever to turn them into the more typical style of rail with a fitting on each end if that suits better.
