Couple of thing to mention on this subject. First is that a larger ID fuel
rail will reduce the amount of pulsating found inside the fuel rail. Also get
away from batch fire, its not made for lots of power and reliability.
Virtually all new cars use sequential fuel delivery systems. You can also run two
fuel feed lines, one into each end of the rail and move the return to the center
of the rail this will improve the consistency in fuel pressure across the
rail. If you plan to run lots of power with the factory batch fire system then I
strongly reccomend this modification. The real answer is sequential fuel
injection with individual cylinder fuel correction. This solves all of the
associated problems found with batch fire systems. As for weather or not you need
a dampener go the the track and see how many 8 second cars are running one.
If a engineer says you should have one then ask him to explain why the cars you
see at the track aren't?
