Why are you going through all this for only 600whp? A walbro will be enough for 600whp. If you want more then you will have to look for more fuel.

if you are trying to mate a -6 hose end to that steel hose you should reflare the steel tube with a -6 tube nut and tube sleeve on it. I've done it that way with no problems and it looks cleaner. the weird part is the factory hose is a bit smaller then a 3/8 which is what a -6 takes. just make sure you flare it out pretty big. after that you can use a -6 union and then it will except a -6 hose end. hope this helps.

Based on what I have read the S2000 has a large pressure drop between the rail and the pump in the fuel lines. The (2) large restrictions I found were in the factory rubber fuel hose from the hard line to rail. So I decided to remove the line and make my own and I was going to modify the rail for -6AN fittings for the supply. As the Subaru guys and domestic guys know getting good fuel distribution is an issue and I lost an 3000 mile LS1 engine b/c of it in the past. That being said I wanted to balance the supply so that it enters on each side of the rail to make sure I did not starve a cylinder. The more I thought about it I decided to keep the build clean and order the rail for a nicer install. The Inline rail looks beautiful and had everything I needed so a no brainer.
Andy, just remember I am an engineer and just like my work I don't take chances I always error on the side of caution even if that requires a little extra cash.

Turns out -5AN is an exact match so I have a tube nut and sleeve on order. I forgot all about those, thanks for the help.

You can do all of the math you want which is cool but when something is proven and works then so be it.
Why not put some of this time and energy into finding a cheaper trans/diff solution for us? If i had the time i would but unfortunately i dont. It seems like you are smart and have a little extra time. Might be able to make some money in turn.

I have not crossed that bridge yet, one problem at a time, but that is no easy challange. The S2000 transmission is quite small compaired to a T56 which would be my first choise. I have also been interested in using the DANA rear end used in the in the C4 Corvette's and I think it has a chance. I have seen that rear end support 1000hp on slicks, coupled with the 3" aluminum halfshafts it is a rock.
