I remember coming up with the idea to do something about fuel temperatures after dealing with yet another instance of heat-soaked lack of response. Somebody else in that thread actually mentioned feeding the two banks independently, as a possible way of equalizing fuel temperatures.

Apparently, Summit Racing now states they do not recommend the Twist-Tite stuff for fuel use. I therefore recommend fabricating the fuel hoses out of braided nylon hoses and hose ends.
I knew AIRRAM had insulated his fuel rails, but I didn't think about the advantages. My 07 has 4 O2 sensors and 2 cats (not sure if that's how your 00 is), so I am curious to see how just some insulating tape might change fuel economy...
