Injector/Fuel rail combo I have a 2000 T/A WS6 with 350rwhp. I have done intake/exhaust and a tune. I am wanting to upgrade my fuel injectors and rails as i will be doing a mild head/cam down the road and no boost. I am shooting for a 4-450 rwhp build. My question is, if i buy the ls1 fast billet fuel rail will it fit my stock injectors, or will i need a spacer/diff oring for injectors or spacer for the mounting tabs? Also the biggest thing is when i decide to upgrade my injectors(leaning towards either a fast brand in the high 30lb range or delphi/svo 42's) will they pop right in the rail without any extra hardware or modification? I have heard lots of nightmare stories of fitment issues and fuel leaks so i want to make sure i get everything right before i spend lots of money.

In case anybody finds this thread, i ended up returning the fast fuel rails as they ended up being a nightmare. The brackets had to be modified so the injectors didn't leak, and once installed most of the AN connections leaked (probably a bad install/overtightening on my end) but nothing went smooth and for the money i spent it should not have been that difficult. I know lots of people have made them work but if you have any doubts or are doing the install yourself i would just do what the above guy said and keep stock rails and powdercoat which is what i ended up doing, they dont function differently other than being a "high flow" rail which doesn't change the pressure but reduces the risk of starving injectors of fuel, and with all the problems I didnt want to risk a potential fuel leak or fire from a set of rails that i wasnt impressed with. Side note the red isn't even the same red as like the umi bars and typical "Chevy" red paint its a lot darker. I will still upgrade the injectors eventually i have decided to use the fast 36lb injectors.
