Anyone know if the RKSport Fuel Riser would be worth getting for my 03 ectotec?

that would be good for your car if you have nitrous or a turbo. but for a NA car dumping more feul into your engine wont give you more pwoer

Before you spend your money on a "Fuel Riser", check your air/fuel ratio, see if you need more fuel. You might even need less fuel. Since I don't know what mods you have done I'm going to assume your stock. If your stock, it's worthless to you right now. When you start getting into heavier modifications and changing air flow entering and exhaust flow leaving your motor, than you will start needing to check your fuel consumption.

If you are modified, invest in a wideband. That will tell you if you need fuel or not.

HOLY CRAP. THEY STOPPED MAKING J BODIES WITH CARBS A LONG TIME AGO.

rising fuel pressure on a PCM controoled car is only going to shorten the pulse width of the injectors so you will dump the same amount of fuel in less time. the only exception is on cold start up's and WOT acceleration where the engine will run rich reguardless.

it's not really a big mod but nessessary if you want to boost - the fuel going into atmospheric pressure is one thing and the fuel going into 10psi. of boost is a another. pressurized air adds a lot of resistance. adding more fuel pressure will allow you to take your injectors further, (example - not actual numbers) let's say that at 100 MPH your injecors have a 95% on time, then you want to go past 108, say 130, your injectors are taxed out and you start to lean out the mix, adding more pressure might bring your on time at 100 MPH to maybe 70% depending on the pressure.

the rk riser is a piece of crap anyway, you could get the same effect by putting a pair of loose fitting vice grips on the rubber side of the return line. get a pressure regulator with a boost / vac. port.
