Aeromotive makes a great kit too. Used it on my brothers GTO and they looked great and only took about 45-50 minutes to install. Here is a link to the kit:

There are many nice fuel rails out there, find one you like and go with it. The only thing I would recommend is that you look for rails with AN #8 O-ring boss fittings on the ends instead of NPT.
AS FAR AS I KNOW, the FAST, Aeromotive, RevXtreme, and I think Nasty rails meet this recommendation.

I did notice that today getting my setup assembled. 1 question I need to ask though is I will be having a custom rear crossover line made, I opted not to purchase a kit with the rails. Will I clear the oil pressure sending unit using (2) -6 90 degree fittings in the rear with the line straight across with a fast intake? Thanks again ZO6.

Please excuse the dust on the intake. I also prefer to do my own plumbing versus buying kits. These are Aeromotive rails with Goodridge, Earls, and XRP fittings. This is a 10mm aluminum hard line crossover from Goodridge using AN to hard line adapters. I put Goodridge fire sleeve over the hard line to help insulate it.

When comparing after market fuel rails there are no flow numbers, per se. Compare the ID of the rail to determine it's flow capabilities. FAST and Aeromotive rails have a 5/8" ID that supports in excess of 2500 HP with AN 8 ORB on the ends. The Professional Products rails have a 3/8" ID and NPT on the ends that will support most anything you can throw at it on the street. It's also worth noting the FAST and Aeromotive are .250" shorter than the Professional Products rails; the extra length of the PP rails is a deal breaker on C5's.

idk the numbers, the fast rails on the fast intake would be a good combo for sure. iam around 370 hp with no problems with fuel or anything, they use 3/8 npt on boath ends i used -6 but they also come wit -8 fittings

Do not use teflon paste, it may seal to begin with but will eventually leak. Tape works better.
The RevX rails have 3/4" inner bore gun-drilled and the fittings are O-ring and have tapered transition (not stepped) to prevent cavitaion & aireation during hign flows. Mounting stands are also billet for ridgidity instead of stamped steel that can flex.....but the price is quite a bit higher than some of the other good quality ones mentioned above. For most HP builds below 700 hp these features are not really needed.
