Default -8an feed or -6an???

I was planning on running -8an feed line on my fuel system with earl's performoflex hose, but im having one hell of a time finding the earls 90degree -8an 12mmx1.5 fitting. I will be running a hondata 4b, t04ebb turbo, 720cc injectors, paxton fpr, aeromotive fuel filter, walbro 255 in tank fuel pump, and if needed which i dont think is a bosch inline fuel pump. My question is, should i run the -8an feed for -6 an fee line? I should be looking at putting down around 400 to the wheels give or take a few hp. Thanks for your help.

If it were me, I would run the -8 fuel feed line.

That's because they do not make one... just drill out the top port on the fuel pump mounting bracket and use some other sort of fitting.

or you could spend more $$ and use -8an/-6an female/female swivel (915186) and -8an male threaded hose end (840108). that will give you your -8an feed size...i may do this....still a little undecided on a few things.

I dunno. Maybe see if Russell or Aeromotive makes that -8 adapter?
If your lookin for 400 hp I would stay with the 8.
