Can someone explain line size for me? So,
I am planning on running a 200 shot through a Nitrous Outlet Plate kit. I was told to upgrade my main feed line from -4AN to -6AN. That all makes perfect sense, and i have doen that. I have one question though. It looks like the AN size going from the solenoid to the plate is a -3AN. What good does it do to go from a -6AN from bottle to solenoid only to neck down to what looks like a -3AN or even smaller(my -3AN wrench is too big for the nut fitting on the line that connects to the plate).
I have searched and cannot find the answer, please help enlighten me.

the issue is length....a 4AN line will handle a 200 shot, but 6AN would be better.
THe solenoid to plate should be a 4AN line with a 3An nut on one end...all jet fitting are 3AN but a 3AN line will only flow 150-175HP.
3AN at 2 feet will support ~175 HP
4AN at 2 feet will support ~450 HP
4An at 16 feet will support ~250-300 HP...depends on bend radius
6AN at 16 feet will support ~600-800 HP...depends on bend radius
these are just estimates

That is excellent information! I have one question:
1) Does the same apply to the fuel side of a 200 shot? I am assuming no, since the pressure is so much less.
