Default Line routing to lines and FPR

I am looking at 2 options. Please provide your input as to which is best/safest (Aeriomotive regulartor)

-8 line from pumps to engine bay
From there:

a: split into 2 lines via a Y block and feed the front of each rail
At rear of fuel lines plumb to both inlets of the regulator, then use bottom port for return.

b: feed back of one fuel line, connect the fronts together, exit out the back of line 2 to one port of the regulator. (Of course I would block the second inlet port)


Second question:
My fuel lines are set up for 3/8 pipe threads, and currently use -6 fittings. I don't mind changing them based on your input.
If I go with option a and split the main -8 feed line, should I go -8 to 2 -8s, or -8 to 2 -6s. (Aeromotive makes 2 blocks)
Same goes for the regulator. The current fittings I have go from the -10 inlets to -8s. SHould they be -6s?
(I can return the stuff I bought and exchange it no problem.)

Thanks

Fuel pump delivery is still in the works. I am looking for enough fuel for 1200 rwhp. I don't think I will get there, but I want to have enough fuel.

Option A larry. And if you run 8 fromt he pumps split it to 2 6's. it really depends on your rails but generally most rails (unless you converted from a 5.0 Mustang Aeromotive rail) are -6an inlets/outlets.

use -6 out of the bottom to return to the tank.

If you run -10 from the pumps, split them to 2 -8's then still run -6an back to the tank.
