fuel system upgrades
I have heard that it would be a good idea to replace the stock fuel lines on my 94 gt before they fall apart and catch fire(seems to make sence). What other upgrades on the fuel system would be good to do since I have it down and apart? I figured the stock fuel pump would be good to replace but was not for sure, let alone what to buy? I also planned on adding a pressure regulator but didn't know what else would be good to do while I have it apart?
thanks........

I heard after a decade that they tend to corrode?
At the moment the car is stock. shortly I amplanning on putting on a CAI, cobra upper and lower, MAF, TB and hopefully some 24# fuel injectors to start.

Fuel lines will not corrode and do not need to be replaced unless physically damaged by impact or applied force. Also save you're money on the 'cai' and the 24's, you in no way need an injector upgrade untill you've changed the heads and or cam...the CAI is simply a waste of good money better spent on working modifications.

+1 To the injectors and the fuel lines. Rule of thumb is that stock injectors are good for 300hp (give or take). If you just have minor bolt ons you do not need injectors, save the cash and the installation hassle. As for the CAI, if you want the bling than go for it but there are alot of other things to spend that money on or put that money towards. The gain from an aftermarket CAI to the stock intake is very minimal and not worth the $150 dollars... if you are doing it for power, your looking in the wrong places.

I my next round up upgrades was going to be heads and a camandexhaust which is why I wanted to go with the 24# injectors. The MAF would need to be set for the proper injectors and I just want to do it right, and do it once.......
As for the CAI I am not going to blow the bank and get one that is too crazy. This car is a bit of a legacy for me as my mother was the original owner, I am not planning on ever selling it so getting parts is no hurry. I have been keeping my eyes open for good deals and got a set of pullies for $40, a cobra upper/lower intake for $150, I am probably going to pick up a 75 mm MAF today or tomorrow.
So am I the first to bring up the fuel lines? I thought I read about it here? What kind of fuel pump would you recommend?
