i bet you will find that only the little short injectors they supply will fit under the rail... which is why the AAM and the CJM rails have an offset injector boss, just to accomodate taller aftermarket injectors.
also, i just noticed... they eliminated the stock fuel filter, but have not replaced it. no filter!

The APS system looks nice, but I wish they would sell it without the injectors, harness, and fuel rails. Othewise, the vast majority of people with Stage I fuel systems will be tossing/selling their old systems.
I am going with the AAM stage II system.

The AAM Stage II pump assembly is very trick, I agree with Shariff. The downfall of the APS kit is that they will want you to buy everything at once, when all anyone will need on their path to big HP is a either the AAM Stage II pump upgrade or what we will be releasing this year, which is just a drop in twin pump assembly... everyone already has rails and injectors and new clips soldiered in ETC by the time they decide its time for 2 pumps.
This APS system will be for the guys who have the basic APS TT kit with just the basic APS fuel system and decide they finally want to go crazy and upgrade the turbos, etc. The only things I see that I dont like about it is that there is no fuel filter at all (the screen on the fuel pump pickup does not count), the fuel pressure is not adjustable at all on those regulators, the rails most likely will only clear the bottom of the intake manifold if your using the APS injectors, and then their new surge tank is tiny as hell, same size as stock one. When you sucking 700rwhp of fuel out of that canister... do you think that little can is going to stay full if the tank level isnt high enough to gravity feed it?
