Fuel Rail Question, and advice on what injectors I need

What's up guys. Im thinking of purchasing an aftermarket fuel rail and injectors. Anyone here running fuel rails that replaces stock rail with any modifications? I know there's no need to upgrade unless you are doing high hp, but theres some that replace stock but with better flow.
My next question is, What injectors should i buy? I was told to run 880s when i told that person that my goal was close to 400.

Ill take any advice
thanks

Why would you replace the fuel rail? Guys are making 500,600 whp on stock rails and fpr's. Fic 850s would be enough as you said and a good tune with proper bolt ons.

Check out Amsperformance.com
They have the high flow fuel rails that replaces stock with no modifications needed, and then they also have another one where im thinking is like for high hp

Well Im still not decided wether or not, since i dont know too much right now about E85. I need to do more researching before i can decide. I know its something to do with reducing emissions.

Yea it does, but wouldn't you want it too say something fancy like an AMS logo? I would...it would just make people see that your means business.

Honestly I am into the sleeper look so no I wouldn't. Please don't take it the wrong way I love AMS stuff but if 400 is your goal its definately not needed.

On 93 pump gas I hit about 450whp on the dynojet with 880s. If you do decide to go with e85 you will need bigger injectors than 880s. Fuel rail is only a cosmetic thing at that power level.

koo. I hear you man...but it all depends on supporting mods right?
Im going to be running an evo 9 stock turbo. I have all the common boltons already, plus i got cams and ill need a fuel pump and injectors. Its hard to tell right not if ill even get close to 400 so thats why im thinking about running E85 to help me get there. But, if there is no problem reaching my goal without E85, then i wont consider it.

I bought one when I bought my injectors and turbo 2+ years ago. I bought it with the intention of helping my injectors out (so they would have a better pulse width, ie so they don't have to 'work' as hard) and to future proof it since I was already upgrading other parts of the fuel system I figured, why not? It looks good as well

I bought the Aeromotive fuel rail. Reason being, it's a drop in replacement and if you ever want to upgrade to -AN lines (which I did), it's just a matter of buying new ends to the fuel rail. Glad I have it now, as I will be really trying to push my setup. This mod is not needed on a stock turbo though.

I'm full bolt on with an Evo 9 turbo, no fuel rail. Hahah I reached 400 pretty easily with E85, it's worht looking into, but you will need bigger injectors, I'm running 1050's and I am maxing them out on e85, for 93 they are fine, though.

I'm at full bolt on capacity with meth and installing a fuel pressure gauge. Figured it's time to upgrade the fuel rail.

I'm going AMS with the replacement hard line, I know it's more expensive then the AEM but i trust AMS making a quality product.
