Default Quick plumbing question

Hey guys! Im getting ready to pumb the lines for my car. Im going to run a -10AN from the tank to the pump (holly) which is only going to be less than 10 inches. From the outlet of the pump I plan to run -8AN from there to the engine bay, about 15 feet.

Im running a single 1200 Dominator on top of a 8-71 roots blower on a 408ci LQ9. looking for 800hp with meth injection.

Main question is will a -8AN will be able to handle the volume I need?

It should handle it fine, assuming you have enough pump. I ran the same size lines on my car, (and still do) when i was running my 780 hp big block chevrolet N/A. I ran a magnafuel 300 to a single 1150 dominator and NEVER had a shortage of fuel. Hope this helps, Eric L

I have the same set-up and use the Aeromotive SS pump. (-10 <might be -12?> to filter/pump to -8 all the way to carb)
The whole set-up came off a buddy's 9.1X NA BBC Nova. He upgraded his system and I got the deal.
Way over-kill for my set-up, but lots of room to grow

Awesome guys thanks! I forget the model but im running a massive holley pump. If I end up needing more fuel in the future (lets hope not..well maybe ) I put an extra AN bung in the fuel cell itself incase i ever needed to run twin pumps...
