I've got a mildly port PI headed, mild cam 97 sohc that puts out only about 275rwhp. This is fine for my class road racing. My stock fuel rail sprung a leak and I'm not finding a suitable replacement even on ebay. I don't want to spend upwards of $300 on fuel rails when the stock is sufficient. My tuner suggested I avoid professional products. So could someone suggest an alternative reasonably low cost rail I could buy.
thanks

pro products is on the lower end. If your going aftermarket then I really would not recommend going cheap. Is the fuel pressure regulator mounted to the rail like it is on the pushrods? IF so then don't forget you will need a new regulator, a place to mount it and all the plumbing bits between the two which add up quick. If you are not looking for a big horsepower jump later then I would keep looking for stock rails.

Where is the rail leaking from?

Looks to be leaking from where the hose meets the rail. I thought I could pick up a stock easily at the salvage but even in my fairly large city they couldn't find one

I would get new o rings before paying for new rails. Unless they get damaged or rust out they don't usually go bad. Normally aspirated really doesn't need anything more.

this is where I was hoping it would lead to. You really do not have enough hp to need bigger rails
