Default replacing carb lines

Replacing Holley carb lines. they are dry rot and cracking. Do I have to replace with high dollar 200+ psi lines or will the cheap gates 3/8 hose work? Thinking about a direct kit does anyone know a good one for the Street Avenger carb

As long as it is fuel rated and can hold the low pressure carbs handle you should be fine.

any electric pump that can maintain 7psig at the carb. (or 5 psig if using an Edelbrock)

I'm running an Aeromotive SS pump with a Holley regulator.
