Curious what aftermarket rails you guys are using with this intake if you are.. I have been looking at a ton of fuel rails.. To be honest the edy's- FAST-and cheaper brands look identical.. But what model rail will work on this intake or are you using.. I am sure I will have to make brackets, but if I have to fab brackets, the easier the better.. Let me know.. Thanks

I used the summit brand, ls1 style. I had to make brackets. I just used some 90 degree, angled aluminum. Cut off the stock fuel rail mounts. Then bolted them to the intake.
Its a real sturdy setup. Looks 10x's better than the stock fuel rail setup. You can't even see the brackets.

Well man, looks like its going to have to be an after work thing. I found a pic of my intake on my phone. But, I can't get it to email the pic, or load it to the site because its slower than ****. 1st gen android, I want to break that p.o.s. and then burn it.
I can get you the one off my phone. And also some pics with it on my truck, when I get home.
As far as bracket holes. I just mounted the rails on the injectors, and then put them on the intake. Took my measurement for length. And also marked where they would mount on the intake. It will make better sense when I get some pics up.

Yah I got what your saying, pics are a plus for sure, thanks if you can post them up.. I can get a few diff style rails(ls1-ls2), but even the companies that make them can not tell me what is diff. I have not seen what a ls2 injector looks like, so the bosses in the rail might be different.. The bracket mounts on the TBSS intake is 8 3/4 center to center, the ls1/ls6 factory rails are 8 1/8 center to center on the mounting holes.. So if the ls2 rails are the same as far as injector bosses go, the mounting holes are closer to that of the tbss ones, then brackets will be easier to make.. I hope that made sense to ya..

Ok, I finally got this **** to work. My girlfriend had to do it for me..lol
I figured this is the best picture. I was going to take some pics of it on my engine. But with all the coils and stuff in the way, you couldn't really see the brackets. Plus the rails are black, so they blend in with everything else.
Hope this helps you out.
The rails are from summit. I think they were $175. I got the angled aluminum from home depot for $10.

Looks good. Did you paint the rails or were they black?? Also would it be possible to get a measurement from the center to center on the mounting holes of the rails?? Oh have you ran the truck or dyno'd it since the swap, if so, any better?? Thanks
