Ok, I see now. I thought the stocker would need to be replaced, but the way it came across in some posts confused me a little...smp3000 said:

I will start with a greetings to you
Now, just for starts... If you think about it this way... the fuel rail supplies injectors controlled by a computer that was set by Mazda to be the most suitable for the car. If you were to just change the rail, aside from looking nice, it wouldn't give you any benefits at all. Because you aren't changing the way in which the fuel is injected into the manifold, the less restriction in the new rail won't have any benefits. Now, something else to think about...If you were to add fuel more fuel to the engine (Bigger Injectors or More Pressure) without adding the air to the engine to match the increase of fuel, you would run rich and actually loose power. Air is the hard thing to add to an engine, fuel is simple. Air is added by forcing it in IE. Turbo, Supercharger, NOS etc. I hope this helped you understand why I feel that a fuel rail might not be what you need right now. Basically, If you add a Header and high flow cats, exhaust + CAI with a larger throttle body, you might see a gain if you change the injector size and then you might have to change the regulator, fuel rail, pump. Mazda has made the injectors with 80% of duty at wide open throttle. This means, if you were to add 20% more air, (a K&N filter might get you 4% topps) the fuel system will be able to keep up no problem. Please feel free to ask and other questions you might have. Later...Brian

Duane is correct.Right now the machine shop is manufactoring the hold down tabs.We are designing the taps so they can be used with stock and aftermarket injectors(spacers).Other than that the rail's are finished.
