Has anyone tried the fuel rail kit Auto Atlanta has in thier catalog? The description about it delivering more fuel than the original makes sense, I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with it? Good? Bad? Worth the $190?

Good? Bad? Worth the $190? Mike Buxbaum designed these and sells them so we just put them in the catalog for sport. I would NEVER install them on my car in a million years, but since the 944s have a larger rail that held more fuel Mike thought that it would be beneficial for the 914 pooling more fuel helping the vapor lock and for the racers have more fuel available at the higher rpms. For a stock 914 the only benefit would be the dress up and the gauge. Bottom line is that the kids who work for me (any of them under the age of 50) thought that putting some nifty 914 products in the catalog would be beneficial to those who are more open minded than I am about 914 modification!!!!! I of course will continue to tote the line (so to speak) so please do not ask me to recommend the fuel rail kit (although we have sold 13 kits in the last month and a half!) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Let's not forget that George is in business to sell parts. Some parts are really critical for the proper running of our vehicles. Some parts are sold because there is a demand by the buying public. As we have all said, the resevoir fuel rail won't hurt 914 performance, and to many, it probably looks really cool. I respect George for speaking up here, and at least he didn't cut the picture of the fuel rails out of an Automotion catalog (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (reference to George's interview on Jake Raby's radio show).
