I'm wondering about the line plumbing on a 455 Olds wwith 32 lb injectors, at 45 lbs. pressure, its got a good street cam and will not be heavly raced or anything. Do i have to split the fuel lines before going into the fuel rails or can i go in the first fuel rail and then the second and then to the requlator. Wondering if that setup starves any of the injectors. THX much

Our Nova test mule is currently running a Holley Stealth Ram that's plumbed up in a U shape like how you describe. Hasn't caused us any particular trouble. As long as the rails are large enough inside I don't expect it to be a problem.

I know my engine is only 130 Cu in., but with the turbo and E85, I use almost as much fuel as a "big" engine, and I have my fuel rails plumbed the same way you suggested, without any problems.
