When should you upgrade your Fuel lines & Fuel Pressure Reg?

Wanted to get some information from various sources about when do you think it is good or needed to upgrade your fuel lines and FPR and reason behind it. Trying to get a clear understanding of it.

Anything will help,

Thanks

PS: Fuel setup now. Buschur DP, 1350 fic, Aero Fuel Rail

When you increase air have to add fuel.Pressure doesnt work all the time so you might need volume at a certain hp level.

Close to 1000 awhp. OEM is good till then. The double pump and those injectors are good enough. You don't really need the fuel rail, but your choice.

Fuel rail was recommended for E85 here.

I thought the stock lines were fine for my setup but wanted people that have actually experienced this area on their setup, shop that tuned etc....

Stock lines are fine, I have already been through this research. I will run E-85 with well over 550 whp on double pump, FIC 2150s and the rest stock.

or another option is when you have a tidy bay and something where the rail just doesnt look right...then its time to get a new one..

- summary of above, when you want bling

if you log with your current set up, and you run lean, then its time to get a new fuel reg to get more fuel pressure and more fuel. If after that you still run lean, then new rail as not enough fuel getting to injectors.

hope the last sentence above helped you
