    Fuel Rail

    Think it'd be worth it to put on an universal fuel rail from I dunno, AEM...

    You'll get no gains, like Shane said. Same holds true for upgraded injectors. Not worth the money without the necessary foundation work. Although I'll admit, the billet fuel rails look nice.

    Do they come in colors? Because it's probably just for looks...

    Just for looks i doubt that, u dont buy a fuel rail just for looks...It has a main purpose for fuel distribution through out the motor..

    Yes they come in colors and no they're not just for looks. An upgraded fuel rail has a 1/2-inch fuel bore capable of flowing enough fuel to support most high-performance engines. This larger bore also dampens the back pulse created by oversized injectors in high-output applications. The AEM fuel rail includes an additional port for the installation of a nitrous set-up or external fuel pressure gauge. (You can tell I've done my homework on these can't you? ) However, without the foundation work, the extra fuel flow is wasted.

    Yup you did your homework! Beside performance (increased bore, xtra port) the colors wouldn't look to bad either...

    You would probably see more gains from getting an FPR...unless you were looking at it from a style stand point.
