You are correct. The FITECH is plumbed much more like a Holley carb with TWO Transfer tubes to the rear bowl (vs ONE, (stock on the old 600 cfm holleys).

The OEMS learned their lessons on the V-8/V10/and V12 engines as far as supplying fuel correctly to the injectors.

I was just highlighting that the Summit info posted is correct (as far as how systems are plumbed) but what the issues were with those systems. Better vs not so good.

Same applies to the fuel feed to the rails/FITECH parts and good locations vs better locations for fuel pressure regulators.

I definitely see where you are coming from.

Sounds like the FiTech engineers had picked up a few tricks along the way before they started this venture. This discussion today made me go out and take a deeper look how the whole thing was constructed. I also looked up some disassembled TB/injector pics on the web. Kind of a cool little piece of hardware. The curious kid in me wants to take it apart to see in detail how it works. The sensible grown up says don't risk flushing your $800 down the toilet because you are curious how it works.
