Anyways, I'll disagree to a certain extent on the 'ease of copy' reply but it doesn't really matter, you guys will sell it cheap enough to keep anyone from trying. Reservoir? You mean the ID of the metal tube spacer is larger than the ID of the hose I guess. Nice margarita marketing but at 80% duty cycle & 7000rpm that's not much time for the "reservoir" to fill...those lines best flow enough with or without a "reservoir". I'm guessing they will.
But what does matter is...why is this better if you can fit a larger fuel rail? You didn't answer that part.
I'd run it just cause it's different and looks trick even though it may not be better than what's already out there.

Stephanie, what do you mean by "best"?

One positive effect of this is that the fuel could be kept cooler if the aluminum block is insulated properly.
Believe it or not I was planning a similar layout of individual plumbing to the injectors for my machine...nice to see it done.

Forgive me for pointing out the obvious here, but it is "DESIGNED" to be the best. I did not say it was a final product, and the best one available. Tim and mrtonyg are misinterpreting. That may be your spin of what I said, but that is not what was intended. That means that issues may be found that need to be addressed, etc... Will it be better that a dual feed, larger bore? Do not know yet. What about a larger fuel pump? Do not know yet. Flow testing will determine that.

If someone posted a picture of a laptop saying it was designed to be the best laptop currently available, people would expect a laundry list of improvements and innovations to back up the design claim, especially in the absence of performance data. This is no different is it?

Sorry if it sounds like I'm busting your *****. Forgive me for asking what about the design makes it the best. I know you are not the one who designed it and are just typing what the others there (Tim/Corky?) tell you to.
If it is "designed" to be the best, then logically the designer designed something about it in order to make it the best. What about this was "designed" to be better than other fuel rails? A "reservoir" above each injector? In a regular fuel rail the fuel rail is a reservior. Balanced flow? Yeah ok maybe. Cooler fuel? Probably. Either of the last two would be acceptable answers to me.
I imagine in reality it was designed to allow fuel to get to the injectors when a regular fuel rail didn't fit, and at the time the idea that it would be the "best fuel rail" had nothing to do with the design.
Yes, ultimately actual measured data would prove the design is better or not.

We are using a larger supercharger. It is not possible.
As for re-inventing the fuel rail, the expense part is negligible, as it will not be that expensive. Cheaper than if you go buy any aftermarket fuel rail. Points of failure is dependant upon installer. Let's be honest here, how many people have actually busted a fuel line on their car? I'd wager there are not many...
