Default Fuel rails for fast ls7 that do not require an inyector spacer?

I have an ls7 Fast 102 and I need i set of fuel rails that work with small injectors.

All the FAST fuel rails i've been able to see do require the injector spacers. The ones I have were modified to NOT require them, but if I can buy them as is and not having to modify, the better.

Thanks

Fast Fuel Rails work just fine with LS3/LS7 34 mm Injectors.

You need to order them for an LS3 and not an LS7 in order for the brackets to work on the ls7

If you buy after market fuel rails from FAST or Katech they Do NOT require injector spacers. You will also need a fuel like kit.

yes, YES ... YES

Anything other that the FAST fuel rails will require spacers with the OEM LS7 injectors. I used the LS2 fuel rails with new 60# Bosch LS2 injectors on my LS7's FAST manifold.

FWIW, I wouldn't run FAST's fuel rails on ANY car I own. There have been many reports of fuel fires due to those POS fuel rails. That's just me though...

Yes... i've hear at the fires.... i had let this "go" as RSI told me their brackets worked for the LS7 with their fuel rails as I have.... it figures, it doesn't... but at least I can modify the brackets/rails in order for the o-ring to not get out.

None... you'll need new OEM LS2 fuel rails AND LS2 injectors to avoid the spacers.

Thanks for the info. I am not bothered by the spacers as I have a stock LS2 rail now with the Fast intake, but wanted something that looks better and doesn't leak.

I have OEM Style Fuel Rails for LS7/LS3 and I am using my stock LS7 injectors with spacers.

I am going to order new ID850 Injectors, so if I get the LS2 version (which is a little bit taller), can it fit there without the need of spacers..?

LS7 fuel rails will not clear the FAST intake. You need the LS2 fuels rails.
