Yeah, it added 50hp!!!

It's a fuel rail! A tube with a bunch of holes in it. The only way it can 'help' is if you have a problem with the stock fuel rail. And as far as I know the only problem people have with fuel rails is when they get close to their fuel flow limit. So unless you're pushing 600hp I don't think you need to worry and if you are then you have many other things to worry about.

If you want the fuel rail, buy it! It won't do jack for you other than nicely dress up your engine bay but that is no reason not to.

Untill you are making 3x's stock power, save your $ for tires.

It is a higher volume fuel rail. The fuel passage being of a slightly larger diameter.
I picked one up August 2004. I promptly returned it to them due to clearance issues with the EGR valve. +6 months later, I have still not had any emails responded to or received a replacement rail from them.

Check their website, they seem to be having some internal issues.

I think the answer to your question is no.

The "Ya it added 50 HP!!" was not needed. Help with fuel delivery problems or issues.

You'll get over it.

My point is, it only helps if you have a problem in the first place. Do you have a problem? If not, why waste your time, your money, and my patience.
