Default Aftermarket rails for truck intake

I tried posting on LS1Tech but figured it may have been a better idea over here regarding the truck intake.

Can someone explain or direct me to a picture that shows how an aftermarket rail like Aeromotive mounts. I currently have an L92 truck intake and have determined since it is a returnless rail and I am using a return line from my regulator before the rail, it is creating pressure issues. I do not want to purchase a new intake, so I would like to go with an aftermarket rail to allow me to place the FPR after the rail. I know they will not bolt right to the truck intake, but before purchasing would like to have an idea on what will be required to make them work. If it is creating a simple bracket or something similar I will order them.

Thanks

There was a pic here a bit ago using like sheet metal screws and an aluminum bracket. Pretty sure I commented on it if you want to search that way.

I have billet rails from nasty performance....long story short, had to use injector spacers to get my injectors to fit correct and some spacers between the intake and rails to put them at the right height. It was a big headache but it appears to be working fine.

Thanks guys. I actually emailed Nasty last night to see what they sell in terms of rails and brackets. That looks great, did not realize spacers would be needed for the injectors though. Will look more into that.

It depends on what injectors you get, but as far as I know some type of spacer will be needed for something (rail and/or injectors).

I emailed nasty when I first got my rails and sent him a picture, and his reply was "hmm, ive never seen that intake before". That matters because on the L92 the mounts are outside the rails, on every other intake basically the mounts are inside of the rails.

For now I just planned on using my stock injectors that I have. Here is a picture of the intake as it sits now.
