Default Fuel rail connecter

Hi, getting some ideas on the best connector for my ls3 fuel rail. I will be using ptfe flexible hose and have rotated the fuel rail to put the cońnection on the passenger side. Will I need a 90 degree connector here as the bend in the hose would be extreme if running parallel with the fuel rail?? Any help appreciated.

You'd have to bring the fuel line up behind the engine, in order to need a 90 degree fitting. I flipped my fuel rail, as you are, and I ran my fuel line along the frame, onto the inner fender (strapped of course), and right into the fuel rail.
This is a straight fitting with -6 PTFE hose.

I ran mine pass side the behind engine ito 90* fitting at fuel rail.

IMHO cleaner then flipping the fuel rail.

That looks great Vegas! My objective was to keep the fuel line away from heat sources as much as possible. Your way does look cleaner though.

I also flipped my fuel rail on my LS3 to the passenger side. I ran a 90* swivel hose end into a Russel fuel rail fitting. I recommend the fuel rail fitting with the lock nut rather than the plastic clip.

Ran fuel line on driver side and remote battery cable on pass side
