Does anyone have any tips for Fakie on to Rails, any secrets, or something they do when doing fakies i always come up landing to much on my heel and slipping out or to much on my toe and slipping out any secrets?

come into it like any other rail, except switch. Line up centered. As you are going up the lip, lean back so you can pop off your skis. Make your 90 degree turn, but turn your shoulders a little more so that you are in the railslide position with your weight and momentum going toward the end. Keep your eyes on the end of the rail at all times.
practice makes perfect.

It also helps to hit a little jump switch lots of times, and just get the feel of popping off switch and doing a smooth, balanced 180. That will really help getting the 90 onto the rail. You might also want to try hitting rail that's got a bit of a jump in front of it, so you've got more time in the air to get balanced. When I go in fakie I like to hit it with a lot of speed, drop my tips as I rotate the 90, and then even things out when I hit the rail.
