You could still run partial line and splice into the factory line with a barb. -6an should be sufficient.

Re: what size size fuel line should I run? (nolimits)
will any line pretty much take any fitting? Im looking at summitracing and they have tonnes of fittings, not even sure what I actually need

if you really want to chance it then i believe the feed on the fuel cell might be a -8 and the return is a -6 then you can get the braided line to fit the fitting, check what fuel cell your getting and it will let you know the size fittings you will need.
Since your not aiming for over 400 i would leave them stock

Re: (BiG Chris)
Ya they are both -8an but are there fitting made for specific line? I want to go with a fuel cell to loose some weight and inline pump and filter so I may as well replace all the lines while im at it

Cause after the swap, the fuel line is like in a straight line, and it is covering the throttle body partially, not right in the middle, but a little bit at the bottom. I had to push it down and put an intake pipe over it. It does fit, but really tight.
One thing good is that my engine mount is really hard so the engine barely moves and that should help reduce the risk of stretching the fuel line but, I still wish if the line were about 2 inch or 3 inch longer so I could fit my ARC chamber because I am extending it with a pipe now, and looks aweful.

Re: (huge230)
When it comes to braided line, you'll not only need to use the correct size fitting for the line, but certain fittings are made to work with certain lines. The line and fittings will likely cost more than the fuel cell. You can use a reducer to run a smaller line if wanted. Depending on how you're doing this, you may also need a remote regulator and custom rail. A complete fuel system can easily cost over $1000, and not as durable as an OEM system (hanging braided lines, exposed pump (external pumps don't last as long). Also, many cells don't allow for a sending unit (and the ones that do will need an aftermarket guage). That's alot of expense and work for an unneccessary upgrade.

Ordered from Summit, just didn't want to wait no more. I did a comparison and for stock Honda, with discount, it will end up about the same and they probably can't tell me the length where Russell is 18" long and for sure, that will clear the intake pipe (at least I hope so)
adirondackR that's nice engine choice. I will be laughing if I can make 150whp.
