Well, according to BBK they're releasing a kit to do what i have done.
Just to verify, the 5010 rail kit has been out for a year now, but like the above post says, it doesn't work with SSI intakes.
However, the following instructions explain how to adapt a set of the 5010 rails to work with an SSI intake for those who would like to know.
These are the same instructions I sent to Nick's to help resolve the issue at hand.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's how I made my SSI work without the crossover tube. I did this to prototype the SSI-R which will have a specific rail kit. (This kit does not exist at this time and is not going to be available for a few months).
The SSI-R upper will not allow a regulator to mount on the rails underneath it so for inital preproduction testing I remote mounted my reg off to the side.
I'm still using the crossover tube, but this would work with a rear crossover such the one in our universal rail kit just the same.
Parts you will need to achieve this-
BBK 5010 universal rail kit (crosses over in the rear with push on fittings and fuel line hose. NOT BRAIDED)
Aeromotive or other remote mountable (stand alone) fuel pressure regulator.
The following items I sourced from http://www.mcmaster.com/ paste the part #'s into the search window on their site for more info
1/16" - 27 NPT tap
2525a171
1/16" pipe plug
4464k559
1/2" I.D. push on style fuel line hose (or braided if you like) with enough length to get from the back of the intake manifold to wherever your remote mounted regulator's input will be.

Parker Pusk Lok- barbed T-fitting for 1/2" I.D. hose
http://www.parker.com/EAD/displayCa...N TEE&subcatid=10193&viewtype=1&sMode=Details Part # 224-8
According to Parker, you can purchase that T fitting from Wainbee @ (905) 568-1700
To make this all work
You will need to tap the flow hole in the top of the passenger side rail, then thread the pipe plug into the hole. That will stop fuel from exiting that hole where the reg. should be. Be sure to blow any chips out of the rail before continuing
Install the rails per the included instructions, but cut a section of the crossover hose out and put the Parker T in-line.
Take consideration as tho the routing of the reg feed hose as it comes off of the remaining barb. You will want it pointing either up or down as it probably will not clear the firewall or would require a sharp bend in the hose if it points at a 45 degree angle.
Connect the remote regulator feed line to the remaining barb on the T fitting.
Connect the regulator return to tank line to the factory return line using the BBK supplied Spring Lock fitting.
