Anyone know what the limit of the stock fuel rail is. I'm trying to figure the cost of my fuel system and if I can use the stock fuel rail for 400+whp then that will save me some money. Thanks.

Yes...guys have used ~740cc injectors for years on SR motors making +450rwhp...with zero issue.

Our KA rails are quite similar...and will flow just as much.

So I know you can use 370cc's on our fuel rail with no adjustments but what about 550's and 740's? Direct replacement or do you have to do something with o-rings, wiringor some other crap?

yes the 550cc's are direct replacements if they are sidefeeds. I have never seen 740cc's sidefeeds, so if you go that route most likely your gonna have to change to a top feed fuel rail

I believe there are 850cc side feeds (Blitz?), but for the cost, a new top feed rail and injectors would probably be cheaper.

No need to upgrade stock side feed rail. From what Ive heard, I'd rather upgrade fuel lines and such.

Just Go with Deatschwerks injectors, sidefeed and a great price, also you can get pretty much any size you want. I will be getting these in a couple of months. http://www.deatschwerks.com
