Message :The fuel is coming from one source, one line. Twin regulators would be redundant.
not true.
you have two parallel fuel lines.
they need to be treated as seperate entities in my opinion.
2 regulators would guaruntee proper pressure in BOTH lines.

If you have one regulator, then if one side falls low, the other side will try and cross feed the low side. you may end up with a funky imbalance. I don't know. I'd just want to prevent any cross flow at the Y-Union at all possible.

Pressure is equal through both rails when you have one source and one exit.
you have 3 holes in each fuel rail.
if an injector fails, or you have a leak, then the two rails are no longer the same

Do you know of any high hp car running twin regulators?
Yes. Mustangs and Craparoes/Corvettes do them when they go parallel. I did research.

All the high horse supras use one regulator.
single fuel rail
They feed the fuel from both sides of the rail and exit in the middle on the inline six.
neat. not apples to apples tho.
