Default upgrading feed line, do i keep factory fuel filter

I want to put a -8an fuel line from tank to rails, is there a way to keep factory fuel filter or should i be looking for aftermarket filters?

If you want more volume of the -8 replace it with a high quality filter.

Stock filter is gonna bottle neck what you are trying to accomplish. Magnafuel makes some sweet in line filters.

How much power are you trying to make that you think you need to upgrade the line?

Then the stock line should be plenty fine, same with the stock rails. Just get a good fuel pressure regulator and run up front with a return line.

my whole system is aftermarket, dual walbro, Im gonna use factory filter for quick service change purposes. Nasty rails, 80lb injectors, sx performance regulator and new return line. also have two msd boost pumps, one on each fuel pump.
