My buddy works at Aeromotive, he has been wanting to take my car and put one of their rail kits on it, not sure if they actually have a specific kit for the cobras. I dropped it off today and he was saying it is very possible that they might go ahead and do an entire return fuel system with eliminator pump and all. I said go for it! way overkill for what I am running now but awesome nonetheless. If this goes down maybe I can talk the wife into that whipple I have been dreaming about. :rockon:

Can anybody think of any ill effects I may have with the new return fuel system? I drive this car quite often

your going to need a tune, be sure he keeps the frps. im pretty sure aeromotive makes a external frps adapter. also i have not heard to much about aeromotive rails fitting with large twin screw sc's. return fuel systems are deff alot better on fi cars

He is working on the rails currently, he was talking about putting them on the milling maching to make them fit better. I let him know about people on here complaining about fitment issues with bigger blowers..

He put a set of rails on it for now, they fit great. I will post some pics this weekend.
Talked of having something else in the works, like machining a billet hat with an A1000...

I am pretty certain that the passenger rail will interfere with the inlet on a Whipple. I just went though this when installing older Fore rails that were made prior to them machining the clearance in the passenger rail for twin screws. I Think the rails I have would have cleared an Eaton plenum, but I had to do quite a bit of machining to clear my Whipple. I had to take it down .150" in the area of the plenum, as well as putting an aggressive radius on the back edge to allow the rail to roll outward to access the blower bolts, since the plenum doesn't come off on the Whipple. Just thought I should mention that because if they plan to make rails for our cars, they really need to do the R&D using a TS car to be sure they will fit. If they fit with the KB and Whipple, then they would fit for sure with any Eaton variant too.;-)

So let me get this straight.. You had a perfectly good car and you let Beavis hack it up and do what? The stock rails are good past 700.

No E-85 around here, hell I only have 91 close to me...
It will look nicer later on, kinda put it back together for now so I could drive it while he develops the back half

just dropped the car off today. Aeromotive is going to complete the back half of my fuel system. They have milled a custom billet fuel hat and are going to drop an A1000 in the tank for me. I will start another thread and give it a proper title with pics when I get it back from the tuner. I want to do E85 but don't have the funds for injectors or a bigger mass air meter yet. Next year hopefully... :D

Any reason they didn't use the Stealth pumps?
