I just talked to Brandi at LR. She is a member here, she is going to talk to Dave about it and email John D, Jenn, or Randy or Ted or....for permission if she gets the o.k.

So be patient for a couple of days but if you're interested in the GB, if it happens, post up. I did the last one and I'd do this one but I'm too busy at work and you saw the pics in the rebuild thread, I'm busy but Brandi may head it up if it happens.

What are the benefits of this setup?
Is this a nice upgrade or only something to consider if you need to replace the original rail?

Default LR Fuel Rail is great

If the money is not the bottom line go with the LR set up. I recently posted a message on the how to install the SX Fuel Pressure Regulator included in the kit in such a way that you do not have to delete your cruise control. Look it up it was posted about a week ago. I see in all the photos of the other people that they eliminated the cruise which I didn't want to do. I made a bracket and if anyone wants, I could machine up a bunch more if you all want to do a group buy or something like that. Again, visit my post and you can see the pic's.

The performance is great and I have had no problems. I still have the old fuel rail with 30 psi pressure regulator if you want it. It was in good condition. L et me know.

Good luck!

Tom

Im in for the GB depending on when it takes place and how long it goes for. I was going to buy one soon anyway as soon as I save up enough money, which is probably in a month. The sad life of a college student

Dave sent a small rubber section that I fitted between the AN connectors at the top of the inner wing (the aperture near your cruise control) and a shortened aeroquip pipe feeding the front of the rail.

The problem was cured completely - both with #55 and the current #72 injectors.

If the group buy goes through, I'd be interested as well. I've been thinking about this for a while after hearing all the issues of fire and old parts. Peace of mind is what I'm looking for, and cooler fuel can't hurt either. Engineerman, I'll dig out your poast as I have ASCD and do not really want to delete it either.
Thanks guys.

So why exactly is the lindsay rail better than the stock one? Are we talking performance, or bling here?

safety is the key. The rail flows more fuel, stays cooler...so lets say that the cooler fuel helps cool down the air charge even further for 1.1598 hp gain

I'd be interested, but I would need it sooner than later, working on my car this weekend, and the lines, etc on the car are not in the best shape....

I just installed a used rail after my original sprang a leak. I think the OE rails were so poorly designed that it's only a matter of time before many of them leak. I would be interested if the price is right.

Engineerman - could you provide a link to your post? Can't seem to locate it.
