stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
I just bought a used stealth ram off another member minus the fuel rails. I was wondering if there were any good alternatives to the Holley kit with afpr currently priced at $260 on summit. I was told Hawk's had a set but I can't seem to find them. Thanks. Also I did search and couldn't come up with anything. If I missed it somewhere apologies in advance.

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
I recall some threads about people running professional products rails. IIRC they aren't a direct bolt on like the holley rails, but work with minimal modification.

All links to those rails are dead. Website doesn't have them. So I suppose they have gone the way of the dodo.

The latest PP catalog only shows the rails available as a kit with the reg

I can get them $15 cheaper on another site and with a good afpr total cost would be around $170.

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
Yeah that's the site I was talking about. Didn't want to post the link since that's a no no here. I still need to get some info on them. If all I have to do is fab some mounting brackets I'd be happy to buy them.

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
I'm using the holley rails on a pro-products intake, and the bolt and injector spacing is the same.
I don't see why the pro-products (or procomp, same thing) rails wouldn't fit a holley.
The allen screws (6mm if I recall) will be too long however, so you'll want to pick up 4 shorter ones at a hardware store.

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
Edelbrock victor rails will fit for 80 bucks but you'd need external regulator which will run 80-150 depending plus fittings so in the end its not much of an alternative cost wise.
Some are having issues with holley Adj regulators, so a popular upgrade is buick grand national reg by kirban which is billet aluminum and fits the rails fine. 110 bucks or so last i heard. Could buy holley kit with non adjustable reg and upgrade to kirban

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
You have to also understand, they are selling 500k of product a month to distributors who don't ask questions, so when someone calls them about an $80 part they don't really put much effort into it. They expect their retailers to answer the tech questions.
I had a holley intake, and sold it but kept the rails for the pro (mine is labeled procomp, but the hurricane is the same casting). They fit fine. I had to make my own cross overs since Holley runs a hardline, but it took 10 minutes with some -6 AN hose.

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
I have a question. Does the afpr have to be mounted on the rail or can it be moved to the firewall? I know space is tight and was wondering why this isn't being done. Will the lines handle the pressure?

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
I re-ran my feed line with 3/8" hard line to come up under the column, behind the booster and end where the FP relay is. I then go -6 braided to the rail. I've seen cleaner, and I've seen worse. Works for me.

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
Yep. I'm running the stock holley unit because it was there, but had I used other rails I'd run the regulator right off the hard line near the steering box.

Per NHRA rules you can not mount a fuel pressure regulator on the firewall.

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
Here was mine, I ran a y from the stock line into the back of the rails, then out of the rails into a regulator that then fed the return line.
I used Holley rails that were not made for a regulator.

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
The reason I routed mine that was was for the best flow and least restriction.
My regulator is after the rails, but yeah, I had more hose then I'd like.

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
I don't have Holley rails. I'm going with pro comps. Trying to do the cheapest stealth ram build ever. I'm off to a good start with what I paid for it and I have a 58mm throttle body laying around that I paid $ 150 for. Throw in another $ 175-$200 for rails, afpr and misc and i'd be happy.

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
Location: All fuel tanks, lines, pumps, valves, etc. must be outside
of the driver’s compartment and within the confines of the frame
and/or steel body. Cool cans, fuel-distribution blocks, etc. must be
located at least 6 inches forward of the flywheel/bellhousing area on
rear-wheel-drive (RWD) vehicles, and on opposite side of
flywheel/housing area on front-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicles. Fuel
pressure gauge isolators, with steel braided line, may be mounted
on firewall.
This is also important:
Lines: All non-OEM fuel lines (including gauge and/or data
recorder lines) must be metallic, steel braided, or NHRA-accepted
“woven or woven-pushlock.” A maximum of 12 inches total (front to
rear) of non-metallic or non-steel braided hose is permitted for
connection purposes only; individual injector nozzle and motorcycle
fuel lines are excluded. Fuel lines (except steel braided lines) in the
flywheel/bellhousing area must be enclosed in a 16-inch length of
steel tubing, 1/8-inch-minimum wall thickness, securely mounted as
a protection against fuel-line rupture. Fuel lines may not be routed
in the driveshaft tunnel. It is mandatory that fuel lines passing
supercharger drive belts be steel braided, NHRA-accepted woven
or woven-pushlock, or be enclosed in protective steel tubing. A
So if you replace an OEM hard line, with another hard line, routed in the EXACT same place the OEM line was run, you fail tech...

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
I would think holley rails with the GN regulator would be the cleanest install, since you are concerned about that, and would not cost much more if any then using Pro Comp rails.

I'm getting ready to order my braided line and fittings but have a couple questions. Do you guys think 10ft of line will be enough? Also what did you use to cut the line to get a nice clean cut?

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
depend on if you are just jumping to the hardline or we where you are putting the afpr but 10 feet is alot. To make nice clean cut I wrap electrical tape around the hose and use a abrasive wheel chop saw. You will need the saginaw 0-ring 14mm and 16mm female to -6 an for the hardline or cut the ends and use tube nuts.Fragola 491970 and 491971 or earls 9894DBJERL and EAR-9894DBHERL

Re: stealth ram alternative fuel rails?
Not much room on the firewall. Where are you thinking? Below the wiper motor? On the passenger side?
How are you plumbing the lines?
Do the rails you ordered have a crossover line?
