Ok yah this was the first one I made, to bad it didnt just turn out perfect....
Yah so when you go and design your first manifold for an engine you have never worked on be sure to post up pics of your end results
Dont worry you are also the type I would never sell too..
I have had some customers, with simular mentalities to you, order before (order t4 topmount to go in a crx) and are going to put gt42r on the engines,
well guess what 2 days after recieving the manifolds the genious'es call and are complaining about having to butcher the radaiator core support
these people seem to think real racecars just bolt together (sounds like your philsophy also) well bad news, they dont
The sooner people realise that 10 second cars dont come out of a box the better this sport will be
As to being terafied of the fuel lines getting hot, assuming the engine isnt running with 1600+ egts the fuel lines will only see aprox 250 degrees, believe it or not buddy there are some people that believe in super heating the fuel (500+ degrees)
The theory behind this is simular to using alchy on the engine, if you heat the fuel up high enough it will instanly vaporize when it leaves a pressurised state (when it comes out the of injector for simple minded people) and pulls out all heat in the intake stream (this is why alchy does so go, it vaporises pulling out all heat int he air), it also atomizes better to get a better burn in the engine
Assuming the fuel system has no leaks and isnt squirting fuel all over the place you would have no worries about this (if it is then I suggest you get that problem fixed before you recieve a darwin award)
If you want to know more about superheating the fuel do some research on f1 fuel systems, endurance racing, top speed racers and you might just learn something

Who the hell asked you about heating the fuel and how it works. I sure as hell didnt. SO Why are you telling me about it? Just an excuse to flap your jaw I guess. Just shut up and dont talk to me. I have nothing further to discuss with you.

Re: Some recent fab (and huge turbo pics)
I like how hes relating getting a fuel line to hot to 'super heated' fuel systems. like they're even remotley related. Thats like driving in the rain with no filter on your turbo and saying its water injection. heating up fuel like that is going to.... expand the fuel....... and the injector wont.. do what?.... shoot out the same amount of fuel every fire? it might.... lean out alittle bit when the fuel gets to hot when it expands? 
and 250ºf to - 400ºf is way to hot... the level of volatility for pump gas is around 70-80 degrees, and doing some reading it seems that most people run the fuel in superheated systems at 130ºf
