Larger fuel rails mean you can push more fuel to the injectors. If your stock fuel rails supply enough fuel for your set up adding larger rails will not give any performance improment. You only need them if the rails are the bottle neck in your fuel system

13. How much power does the stock fuel rails support?
14. Do you necessarily have to be running a ton of power to use these?
15. Even if you dont need them, will they benefit you in any way?
16. Do they have any affect on gas mileage?

Thanks

600 rwhp seems a bit high to me! I dont even know if N/A car could pull those kind of numbers. If anything, its fwhp/bhp, but even that is probably low to mid 500 rwhp. I know that my car may not necassrily need them, but if its an upgrade to consider and looks good, then why not right?

Yes I meant fwhp...Like I said though I am not sure. Search in this section, I know i read it last year, when resourceing nitrous and everything else. Of course, PSJ, Colonel, 9Ball or others normally have this type of info embedded in there memory.

Just looking at the plumbing, I'd say you wouldn't
need bigger rails until you have a bigger / better
fuel pump, forward line and regulation. The 10 feet
of unregulated forward run matters a lot more than
the last foot of rail, drop-wise.

Now, if I saw someone selling a kit that included
purty rails, an engine-mounted bypass regulator,
a >= 3/8" prebent forward feed and the fittings
to convert the existing feed to a return, bypass
the rear regulator and make it all look good and
make steady pressure at the rails a reality, that
would cause me to part with cash money.
