Subject:Re: High performance fuel rail system.

I would think the performance would be related to the size of the hole
in the block of aluminum.
However, since the fuel pressure regulator is keeping the pressure
constant, and the limiting factor the hose to and the injector itself
are still the same, I don't see how it is going to deliver any more
performance.

The only advantage I could see would be if the hole in the rail was
larger, allowing it to hold more fuel, and if there was ever a time when
the stock rail was fuel starved.

Though having the built in pressure gauge is nice. I think this is more
of an appearance upgrade than anything that would actually increase
performance.
