Default Stock Fuel Rail Bore?

Anyone know what the bore is on a stock fuel rail for a 1996 accord lx? Right now my car is tuned for 5.8psi. I'm going to retune at 10psi sometime this spring and i'm wondering if their is a huge difference between the bore of the stock fuel rail versus AEM's. I believe AEM has a 1/2" bore. Let me know if you guys think it's worth spending the money on it.

I hope your running more then 5.8psi of fuel. You should be around 45psi, as for the fuel rail, unless you need the extra port on the top just stick with the stock unit. There's no need to waste the money. You won't gain any thing.

The stock rail is 11.31mm or 0.445in. There is no need to pay for an AEM rail when it is only 1.39mm or 0.054in larger. It won't make any difference in your builds performance.

hahaha sorry i should have been more specific. My ecu is tuned for 5.8psi of boost on Crome. As for my fuel psi, i believe a stock accord's fuel psi is 38psi, right?

Jesus, that's not even a tenth of an inch larger haha. So as stated earlier, the only other advantage would be the extra port. I'll put this money towards injectors or something.
