Default Billet fuel rail xover what size -6 or -8?? Turbo car

Sorry admins if this is in the wrong place but this is mainly a question about what line size to use because of the importance of being forced induction.

OK guys, I received my billet fuel rail the other day. I will be running a aeromotive regulator on a return style setup. -8 feed to one rail, xover to the other rail, out the rail into the regulator and out the regulator -6 to the tank. My kit has -6 for the xover but should I use -8? Logic tells me -6 will likely feed enough to the last rail but I also think it could "bottleneck"
Any advice or comments are invited. Thanks

Feed both rails with a -8. If you monitor AFR per cylinder you will see a lean spike on the opposite bank only feeding 1 side and crossing over. We have seen this on the engine dyno with only 650hp.

Which cylinder or cylinders lean spiked?

I'm feeding pass rail at the rear, crossing over in front, exit at the rear of the drivers side. All -8.

All 4 on the opposite side of the feed. Changed to -8 feeding each rail and the issue went away.
