Hey all!
Im planning to change the stock fuel line to 3/3 braided lines from the tank all the way to the fuel rail. Do you think 10' is enough if I'm going to route it on the driver's side?
Has anyone done this before?

Nope, not enough... Also, if you're going to do it, get Teflon line house and the correct fittings for it. Rubber lined SS lines seep the fuel vapor and make everything smell like fuel.

If you search through Summit's website, it'll give you the option of selecting what type of fluid is going through it, gasoline, alcohol, ethanol, etc. in order to help you get the right type of line.

15-18' should be more then enough.

trust me spend the little extra and get teflon lines its worth it.

-8 feed
-6 return will be good enough past 800whp.

That link is rubber lined hose. PTFE is Teflon.

PTFE lined hose without a doubt. I just bought a bunch of this stuff > https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/group.asp?GroupID=PLUMANFLEX

18' should be enough for the whole system. -8 feed, -6 return like turbo2nr said.

18' is not long enough for both lines. The factory return will handle plenty of fuel, no need to spend unnecessary money.-6 fittings generally have a smaller ID than the factory hardljne ID. -8 PTFE line in the feed and the associated fittings is all you really need.
