Default Crossover for fuel rails in back or front of intake?

Does it make a difference, is it better one way or the other? I noticed lately i've seen a lot of people with the crossover at the back and feed at the front and was just wondering if there was a reason for it, thanks guys!

It doesn't matter. I put the cross-over in the back just to keep the clutter down.

Does the back cause any issues with the oil press. sending unit?? When installed in the front it doesn't look right. IMO

You run the rear cross over?

I originally had it in the front and then put it in the back just recently when I was trying to fix a problem I had and wanted to rule something out and just wanted to ask if it was ok to leave it like that, that's why I made this post, cuz i've actually since then noticed a lot of pictures with people with it in the back.

I put mine in the back too, clears the sending unit by far. I figured with my cross-over in the back:

1. It hides the clutter,
2. Its more likely that I'll be dis-connecting the fuel line attachment itself rather than the cross-over. Having the fuel line in front makes it easy to remove.
3. It leaves the plugged end of the rail in front, so it's easy to add a gauge, sensor or other accessory if I wanted one day.

I put mine in the front. I think it looks nicer.
