I really think it is a great upgrade and a quality kit. The idea that the fuel isn't "dead-headed" in the fuel rail also helps. I think you will see a noticeable change in how the truck idles too!

Trey,
I put it on my truck and noticed it quieted down the sound and it seemed to run smoother. I ended up checking it with AE and the data clearly shows the FRx improved the PERDELS on mine.
Here is a post from the thread I started after installing the next gen FRx. Read the whole thread for more information.

Since Trey is going for the stealth look, he might have to do something about the Riffraff brand on the FPR housing as well.
Not be a wet blanket, but I did the hutch mod, and based on my testing, very little air is still in the fuel at the fuel bowl. This mod greatly quieted my engine. I'm wondering how much more smoothness/quietness I would get from the FRx mod. Would it just be another 10-20%, or a quantum leap (as the hutch mod was)?
I realize that the FRx also provides better fuel pressure feedback info, so it's not only about the air in the lines.

You're right, it's not only about the air. Since #6 fires right before #8, and the fact they sit side-by-side, #8 doesn't always get it's fair share of fuel sitting at the end of the deadhead fuel rail. Open up that deadhead fuel rail with an FRx and #8 will be much happier with a better volume of fuel and might even last a bit longer because it will be better lubed. The fuel section of the injector is only lubed by the fuel, and any additves you may add to the fuel.

Ya, you should have some type of pre-pump filtration. If its only a clear bubble filter, its atleast something.

I installed a screw-on 10 micron filter just ahead of the tank - after I did the hutch mod. I like the fact that my fuel pump now only sees cleaner fuel, too. Ripping all that badly-engineered junk out of the fuel tank and replacing it with stainless lines brought joy to my heart.
