Went with Sullivans on mine. 10AN ports, 3/4" I.D. They're pretty beefy. My injectors will run out WAY before my rails do.

I have the 97 Rail with an adjustable regulator on it along with 60's and twin 255's. I've run 23 psi with this setup with no issue. I had a boost controller incident and hit 31.75 psi once and while the fuel was fine I had 4 plugs let go at ~4200 RPM I guess 12 degrees of timing and pump gas doesn't cut it at that boost level...

John's truck has the areomotives on his and they helped out quite a bit. Pat had to take a lot of fuel out after switching to them. Something like 12%. If you go with these rails and some 72lb injectors you will be fine for around 800-850 safely. If your gonna do it I'd call Pat soon!!
