Default Fuel Filter For AN Lines

I'm rerouting my fuel lines next week up into the top of the trans tunnel so I don't have them cut again by some punk *** little fu(ker again.

I'm getting summit black push to connect hose and black fittings, running -6 for the fuel and return, but I can't decide on a fuel filter. I don't have alot of room so I was thinking something like this TRICKFLOW FILTER but will that be enough? Should I run 2 of them, or should I look into something else?

I'm wanting to make an order soon, so help a guy out

Thanks in advance

That filter should work fine for your setup. If you really want to you could run 2 in line. Just to make absolutely sure your fuel is as filtered as can be. a #6 line should support plenty of power aswell..

I figured I'd be ok, but just wanted to be sure. And when my new motor is built I'll be going to -8 pressure side and leaving the -6 for the return. I'll also be upgrading my fuel pump to a 255 pump since my stocker has 125k miles on it and I would feel beter with a new pump in there

a #8 feed would be more then enough when the time comes. 255's are a great fuel pump. Ive been running one with zero problems *crosses fingers* for just about 2 years

That is not a very good idea. If you ever have any kind of driveline or torque arm failure you will be in a world of trouble.

I'm shooting for 540ish rwhp with the new build so I hope so, right now I'm around 400 rwhp so I think -6 is fine considering its bigger than the factory lines its been running on for 3 years haha

That is exactly what I thought when I read that.

Well there won't be a TA and I'm running drive shaft loops. The fuel lines already run down the tunnel just at the bottom so I highly doubt that I'm putting myself at any higher of a risk than the factory did. And having some ****** cut your fuel lines and having them spray fuel onto my headers seems like a good safe option too.

I guess I could run them above my SFCs, but I think I'm sticking to my original plan
