actually, a 3/8" is a -6

I used -6 braided lines for both...

you do know that the LS1 f-bodies don't have a dedicated return line tho right? You can use the EVAP as a return if you want. It is a 5/16

I thought the evap was the return. Can you give me a quick lesson on what the evap is?

The EVAP system in a nutshell is a system that drawns fuel vapor and overpressure from the fuel tank and puts into the intake manifold. Removing or disassembling the EVAP will throw codes and is consider an emissions piece of equipment.

You will need to have the codes turned off if you plan on doing that way. I did a half *** writeup of how I did mine.
