Your throttle body and gas pedal have to match in order to work. As far as fuel system in my nova with my ls2 I used a1000 fuel pump with -6 line from the pump to the fuel rail, they sell an an adapter to push on the end of the fuel rail with an fitting on the other side.

I see a lot of other people using like 5/16" or 3/8" hard fuel line from pump to fuel rail also, guess it really depends on what you like and how much you want to spend.

Nice car. I prefer DBW for cleaner looks. Yes, normal AN fittings. Some people have fuel smell using normal AN hose. Some sort of PTFE line hose is best. SUMMIT and Jegs both have house brand "premium" hose thats E85 friendly and won't give off fuel smell.

Being Procharged, I'd go -10 supply/ -6 return.Try a SEARCH
