Parallel Fuel rails or reverse flow?

I've heard reversing the fuel flow down the standard fuel rails helps with fuel starvation on one of the cylinders. Is this a poor mans solution instead of parallel fuel rails, or just as good?

you reverse them on the classics to make the flow the same as a new age car. So if you reverse it on yours you are making it the same as a classic!

Even on a classic, its not the same as a parrallel conversion. Parrallel conversions are nice but not really required until you are into proper big BHP territory.

I see. I don't see how you get fuel starvation on one cylinder in the first place, surely if the fuel system is pressurised, the pressure is the same everywhere?

Nah, nothing that fast - might buy a bigger turbo sometime soon though :mrgreen:
