the rails look to be pritty big already- Im doing a 900hp e85 turbo build and was wondering if I could just swap the stock lines on the back with some -8 fittings?

The rails are plenty at that level. But yes, the lines on the back and connecting together should be at least -8 feed -6 return

even for E85?

You need more fuel with E85

I have a hard time believing a stock fuel rail designed for 275HP can support 900HP, ESPECIALLY with E85.

What intake manifold are you running?

Mine, stock rails with -10 Feed & -8 Return, 722 RWHP so whats that at the crank, close to 800? Not quite 900 but I had no fuel delivery problems..

I run a single -10 into dual -8. I only have -6 returns out the back, into a single -8 back to the tank. I'll snap a pic in a few, it cost me 60 plus 10 bucks in weld-on fittings to do the rails, that included welding up the crossover holes, machining, etc.

Here ya go, I do all my stuff in aeroquip pushloc. It's great with E85, and its relatively affordable.

Even with E85 it should still be enough. Our sponsors sell 2000+hp kits and it still uses the same stock rails but larger inlets/outlet.

heres what i ended up doing- Cut the cross over in half and silver soldered -6 fittings on. Going to loop them back toward the firewall to a aeromotive regulator. Hopefully i can find some nice clamps to hold the lines to the rails. I still need to weld the -8 bungs on the end of the stock rails

looks good, I think you should be fine at that power level. Next step is a big pump and big injectors

ive got a brand new a1000 and speed controller so im going to run it and when i run out of fuel ill just buy another and run two of them. My buddy has some bosch 160s but i need to research if i need high or low impedence injectors for an ls1 pcm

There is an Impala that based on the 1/4 mile performance I am sure of is solidly over 900rwhp. Has the stock aluminum rails plumbed separate AN.
Thing is a pig, has the AC and all yet and last I heard he said he was approaching 160mph in the quarter. Launches soft though.

I just mention it because it is a case where I know a car is making at least as much power as the OP is aiming for, yes it is pump gas not E85 but I believe it is currently WAY over the 900hp mark just having a hard time putting it down.

i made 670 thru a th400 with stock rails and lines!!

I would have to think you were pushing the limits of the stock lines at that. By the time you figure the big losses of the TH400 you probably were approaching 3 times stock power at the crank so still a good testament to the stock plumbing.

I would think even with using E85 a properly modified stock fuel rail should support upto 1200rwhp.

Here is a picture of my setup. I have a -8 from my regulator to a y block, then -6 to bung welded to the back of each fuel rail. I left the crossover tube installed, to make sure pressure to each rail stays equal.

The return is off the regulator (Bottom right of picture). Been working just fine for the last 4 years.
