Depends............http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-f...line-size.html

I would say -8 will be fine with a good pump(s). My -10 is the same size as 5/8 heater hose.

I don't think that would be an issue with a return style system. Also, in a sequential injection system the injectors do not all open and close at the same time.

very true. and with that much pressure and fuel flow i guess it would be hard to make any kind of wave in the system.

Stock is -6(3/8"). I would add a larger feed and use the stock feed as the return.

Should be good with a healthy pump(s). That's what I was running previously.
