Well I am curious about what size line I should run for fuel, -8an or -10an. The car is for drag so I want to get as much fuel as possible but I don't want to overdue it.

Setup: 2.0 stock stroke, Wiseco piston 1400HD .030 over, Howard(Ma performance)Rods, Jay racing main caps, Kiggly girdle, Arp main studs, H11 head studs, ferrea valves, kiggly springs, have not gotten cams but kelford tx294hl, t4 manifold twin 38mm waste gates, s480 turbo t4 hot side 1.10ar still saving for it, liquid to air setup. The car is also being converted to Auto. As far as the auto swap I have the kiggly sfi flex plate and avid billet motor mounts for an auto car. Suspension is still kinda up in the air. As far as fuel I am gonna run 1600cc injectors and a A1000 prob I have not decided on the pump yet.
I want to make 800 and up

Thanks! Thats all I need to hear, I will go with -10an then. From fuel cell to rail and pump.
Thanks for the input guys, any other opinions will be appreciated. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

1/2" (-08) flows A LOT of fuel, fwiw and not sure if 5/8" (-10) is too large...guess it depends on the pump and its ability to push that sort of volume into such a large space effeciently...To me it's too large unless we're talking a 1200 hp engine or something, and even then (lots of people use only 3/8" for say 800+ hp).

Well when you put it like that -10 sounds like it just might be too big. I am going to look at some pumps right now and I will keep you guys posted on the ones I pick
Yeah, definitely do some research and especially with consideration with the actual pump and what pressure you'll be running + the return line is part of that system. Fwiw, all pumps, regardless of application, have recommended line sizes and whatnot that they are designed to run at and increasing (or decreasing) it does affect its performance/efficiency, etc...Don't need to get into all the details of it, but there are a lot of guidelines floating around and look for the 'non-internet' information, as that will be tried and true vs. hearsay...
