Tonight I was out in my shed having a smoke and somehow ended up with fuel rails in my hands, this got me thinking.
Now I know that a few years ago, as far as I can remember, our stock fuel rails were sufficient for the amount of power that the big dogs were making. Now with some looking to go to E85 and the possibility of more power from these engines then we thought back then, is there the possibility that we may be needing higher flowing fuel rails in the next few years?
Now I know that there is clearance issues to be worked out as well as manufacturing issues but as far as design goes I can work on that in the time that I have available with the input of people like Dave Dalke and others that have significant experience with these engines and their fueling needs up at the higher power levels. I will be using AutoCAD to design these (since I am going to school for computer aided product design) so that will take allot of the expense (for R&D), that we would normally see with new parts, out of the equation.
So, that is my thoughts and my proposal. Let me know what you think.
