anyone have the aem fuel rail?

Just wondering if anyone has it. It's pretty cheap and I've heard it gives an extra 7-10 hp. Not bad for $120 if it's true. Let me know if any of you have it or know about it. thanks

i dunno about how much power is produced with the rail...but the delivery of fuel is a lot smoother when you are gunning it hard. my friend has one on his accord and in 5th gear he has better throttle response.

it shouldnt be, because it just makes it easier to deliver more fuel when called for

Hate to rain on the parade, but the CL is already running way rich with stock maps (meaning more fuel wont yeild in more power).

The fuel rail will do nothing but look nice. Dont expect any power change.

Youd be better off spending the money elsewhere. If you think you need more fuel get a fuel pressure regulator. Its at least adjustable and will let you tune for power if you ever make it to a dyno.

Tune what?

I would definately recommend the vafc over the fuel rail


I still run the stock rail.
