Return line using evap? My set up is a 408 with a single 91mm turbo should put down about 850rwhp and might take it up a little more.
A local shop told me they run 6an there and use the evap back. My original plan was to run a 8an there and 6an back. What do you guys think about this? Not sure how I feel about the evap running back

The most common answer you will hear is to run -8an for feed and use the original feed line as the return. This is how I will be running mine.
-6an for feed will be a restriction for your application IMO.

That's what I figured but they said they use a 6 feed on all their 1000hp cars. So I'll just do the 8 as a feed.
Another question, I've been told nylon, Teflon, and the plain steel braided. What do you guys recommend? Bc I was looking at the psi rating for the nylon and it didn't seem like it was enough

Steel braided for the cheapest solution. I'm going with the nylon hose because it's easier to work with as far as putting the fittings on. It's lighter too for whatever that's worth. Some also say the nylon dissipates heat better than the steel braided.

Ok awesome thanks. I was trying to search for a write up but didn't find one on what fittings/adapters I would need to use the stock feed as the return.... Any ideas?

And look through this thread for back at the pump ideas. This is similar to how I will be doing mine.

It's pretty much personal preference between nylon and steel braided. Teflon is used for brake, power steering, nitrous applications.

The OP didn't state that he is even running E85.

Been running E85 for years with Russell line with no problems.

I just had to redo my fuel pump lines because my garage smelled like a gas station.
To each their own. I am just passing on my experience.
I use Russel for coolers...
As well as catch can hoses and other stuff... its nice hose.

I'll take a look through those links. But I am NOT using e85. We don't have it for like 30 miles and I'm not going keep drums of it in my garage. I'm just looking for good fuel line that doesn't cost a fortune and is easy to work with. A local shop wanted $150 for 8an feed and I'm sure there was a little up charge on that

I found a few hoses on the bay. They wanted like $110 for the black nylon on 20 ft for 8an. Is 750 Max psi enough? I would figure yes but the steel braided is double that. If not where's some decent prices ? Sponsors?
