Sub. Ridiculous build man
Checked it out, and its the injectors not properly seated/sealed causing a minor fuel leak from the upper o-ring. I'm having David shut his car down for a couple weeks, until the new fuel rail and injectors come in. The location of the factory FPR is a problem with the 505 intake manifold causing the injectors to sit at an angle.
Thanx for the pics.
I may need to fab up new brackets like you did to bolt down the fuel rail. We didn't want to convert/modify the perrin fuel rail, so we purchased a different one with an Aeromotive external FPR, should be in next week sometime.
dude i have no idea why you guys are having so mani problems with the perrin rail this thing was designed around putting a perrin rail on

It isnt the Perrin rail, its where the location of the factory FPR sits and how close the plenum of the intake mani is. With how it is, the injectors sit at an awkard angle in the intake mani flange (which is why a donut style O-ring is needed on the bottom of the injectors to keep it sealed).
Once you take away the factory FPR, it should sit like straight and flush like this.....

....and as you can see, there is no room for the FPR to fit back where it's suppose to be. So we're going with an external Aeromotive FPR away from the fuel rail.
Am I the only one disgusted by the turbo flange on that Steedspeed manifold? That is a complete mismatch from what I see in the pics and will surely cause turbulence and a lack of spool. Hate to talk bad about somebody's very taste full project but the fact that they get away with that is beyond me.
