From what I understand, they are actually both functionally the same since AAM released the version 2 of their kit.
CJM has anodized fuel rails, so if you have an intake manifold, you can show them off.
Other than that, I think it's personal preference.

yeah, so the CJM rails look nicer than the AAM ones? I was going to go with silver, not blue rails if I got the CJM
The AAM fuel lines are SS braided lines which IMO look better than the darker CJM lines
If they really are the same in fuctionality, then I might end up getting the AAM and save $275
any issues with using one of these systems with an NA car and the emanage ultimate with walbro pump and 440 injectors? I know it's not needed and is overkill, but plan on FI in the future and figure why not just throw it on now.
I'll be doing close to 295whp I'm guessing, maybe more on 101 octane on a 2nd map for the emanage ultimate

There was a thread a bit ago (That i can't seem to find now) where phunk and aam were each arguing over their products. And yes they are both functionally very SIMILAR but not exactly the same.
The SS lines in the AAM kit may look better to show off, but they are rubber lined and SS braided. The lines used in the CJM kit are Teflon lined (PTFE), SS braided, then rubber coated to prevent any abrasion.
The CJM kit also is an entirely new fuel system, minus the fuel pump assembly. The AAM kit does not come with a new Feed hose from the fuel pump where the CJM one does and has a nice clip that goes straight to the factory clip on the fuel pump assembly.
Lastly the CJM kit uses a larger return line (-6 over -4 I believe) than the AAM kit. AAM claims the larger line is not needed, but tests done by charles showed him enough difference to make it bigger.
So basically what I am saying is...while the AAM kit is a great kit and shouldn't be played down at all for what it is, I believe the CJM kit is well worth the extra 275.

I hope this doesnt turn into another debate...LOL. The biggest visible difference between the two systems are the teflon braided lines, and the -6 feed fine on the CJM kit. The returns lines and the rails and other pieces on both kits at are all -6.
The AAM doesnt use a new feed line, as their tests showed that -6 was overkill for even very very high whp cars.

Yeah, i wasn't trying to turn this into a debate, just trying to make it clear that they are not functionally identical, just very similar.
I work for a company right now and we make a huge chunk of the industries PTFE lined, SS braided hose. Its a long process but after seeing test samples between the two I will only choose PTFE lined hose.
