Fuel system configuration

For those of you who have upgraded your fuel system which configuration did you use? Any insights to the advantages or disadvantages of either system appreciated.

My vote goes to configuration b or a parrallel setup. that way neither your primaries or secondaries feel a drop in pressure form each other.

Would a closed pressurized system see a difference with a good fuel pressure regulator?

I feel that B is a better setup as well, think of the main fuel line as a main feed line, and as the injectors pulls it is like having a FPR bleeding off excess pressure, therefore the further down the main line you go and the more points of release the higher the variance of pressure will be as you travel down the line. Setup b has a much better chance of supplying equal pressure to all injectors 2ndary as well as primary.
Though with the right flow area in the lines and rails, and a pump that can keep up it wouldn’t be an issue if you really wanted to go with setup A.

here is a pic of how i ran it.

My setup is pretty basic: 850s/1300s, supra tt pump. Factory rails, lines, and fpr.

Has been good to over 400rwhp, and has never given me any problems

rich is gay and his car is slow.......i did something similar to "b" in my car except with dual pumps, one for each rail, which run into a single fpr and return.....if one pump goes out, which happened, the other one will supply enough for about 15 psi of boost, after that pressure drops off dramatically, i really don't run much more than about 13 psi as this is a road course car....the most boost it has seen is 23 lbs and that was only once....we dynoed 409 @ 13 psi so that is more than plenty......
