Default Golf tee-ing the fuel line?

I've talked with some people lately who have said that you can gain fuel pressure, leading to more horsepower by sticking a golf tee in your fuel line. I was wondering if this was safe, and if it is, how do you do it? I knew a guy with a vtec prelude that said he did it and it is an easy mod that made his car a lot faster. Any feeback??

Hmmm, I hadnt heard of it either, but I guess its really supposed to work. Dont know how safe it is, but wouldnt mind trying it while at the track or something.

thats gay. preludes run too rich as it is, you don't want MORE fuel...

The only thing I can think of is putting a Tee in the vacuum line that goes to the FPR.

Like JDM LUDE said, that's gay.
