Default stock fuel line enough? help!

Hey guys running a 434 ls2 with all pro ls7 heads with port n painted ls7 fast 102 from mr tony mamo. I got told by a friend/tuner friend that the stock fuel line wont be enough and may restrict anything above 600 rwhp which ima be above this mark. Just trying to eliminate fuel problems. Also going be runnjng a 250 plate kit on the fast. 60 lb inj. Guy told me to run a -8 inlet to fuel pump and -6return line. Is this necessary or is it smart and should I go with it. I also running a racetrnics 255 pump. Not a boost a pump either. Thanks. Need help asap.

the guy who told you -8 inlet and -6 return was correct.....
though, I would consider an upgrade to a dual in tank pump setup as a 255 will not be enough for NA +Nitrous...

I'm in the same boat as you, but with a little less power. I'm at 585 na. I'm using a nitrous outlet 102 plate kit. Hoping to spray 150, currently I'm spraying 50 without issue. Will be dynoing tommorrow and upping the shot while monitoring fuel pressure and afr.

You would probably be alright on motor if around 620 or less. You could always use a dedicated fuel cell. Probably the route I'll take depending on tommorrow a outcome

I was considering a stand alone for the nitrous and use pump for na. But if a dual pump setup could give me enough for both I may consider it. But im not going be spraying ofyen but will spray 2-250max

My standard dual pump kit supports 700rwhp on stock lines & 1000rwhp with the appropriate line modifications.

Feel free to call for more info.
