Golden eagle has a fuel bore of 11/16”
AEM has a fuel bore of 1/2"

If that helps any.

EDIT: I know for a fact the AEM fuel rail works with stock injectors and fuel hose. Not sure about Golden Eagle, but probably.

stock fuel rail can easily hold 350 hp. just get the one that's cheapest and works with the least amount of work. they will all perform the same unless you have a big turbo on a built motor.

If you want to start building your engine for looks, colored spark plug wires, with matching strut tower bar, fuel rail, and valve cover are good places to start. All but the valve cover even do something for reliability/performance. Whenever my cousin gets a used car first thing he does to the motor (after checking for leaks) is take a big bucket of degreaser to it. Looks pretty clean!

i like my vortech rail because of the o-ring fittings. and they work with rc's and stockers. not to hijack, but personally i dont like the aem rail.

yea even if it doesn't make any difference i just want to upgrade it to a better fuel rail so the same problem don't happen. The fuel was dripping like a leaking water cup. it's not drip stop drip , its constantly flowing and i've been driving like that for the past 2 month. Though i dont know if the problem started 2 month ago maybe even longer. So I just want a reliable one that will be able to handle built motor (for the future) and wont cause a the same problem again for a stock car like mines. 1 more thing what do u guys think about golden eagle fuel rail. and what do they come with. Does it come with everything like the AEM fuel rail?
