Are you sure the fuel rail is what you are reading? The IR temp tools read an area, that gets wider as you back away. It is not a point source temp, and is not a precise location temp. It is a great tool, but has its limits. That said, it sounds a little too hot to me, I think mine runs about 160-180 max at the worst.
Try an eye dropper and some soapy water (so it wets out better) on the rail to cool it, and see if anything changes?
The IR that my dad has a laser on it to see where your looking, i was pretty close to it and if I would go on either side of the rail the temp would change. I hava plans on wrapping the rail with header insulation just to see if it helps and opening my hood when I get home to let more heat out. If it does improve, could this be a sign that the cats are clogging and heating up more? I checked the temp after driving 30 minutes today and it got to 225* back near the fire wall
