    Fuel rail woes.

    I have a new problem I stripped the threads in my new fuel fail kit.

    I have heard others complain about this with the cheap professional products fuel rails .It says to work the fittings in a little at a time. Turn it until it stops and back it out half a turn then retighten a little farther. Well on the third time the threads came with it when I backing it out. Its hardly half way in?

    Man am I pissed. This kit is so crappy. Could I just have all the fittings welded?

    Because 90% of the time it's user error when some one complains something doesn't work.. Some have had success with them.

    I was also told not to use their TB/Plenum or ebay intercoolers, patriot heads. or you have to have your cams degreed. You'll never get a V1 s-trim to break 600 on a 2v etc.

    So most of the time going against the grain has panned out for me.

    Nothing like whipping some one who spends more and gets less.

    This is the first cheap product I have used that failed on me.. I have bought used on a number of ocassions also.
