Default 8an to ? for y block

I posted this in the fuel section but figured it would get more views here. I have my 8an feed going into my Y block with two 8an lines coming out of the Y block to each fuel rail. Should I have used 6an lines off the Y block or is 8an fine?

You want to feed both rails at full pressure with the "Y" and return post using your return style regulator and don't be scarred to overkill the return most guys make the mistake and run too small a return. -8 is fine.

Thanks for the response! I was just worried about splitting the 8an into two 8ans to each rail. I wasn't sure if you are supposed to drop down to 6an after splitting.

I went from a single -8 to a Y block with two -8s coming off it to the rails on mine...

Ok cool. I already have the lines made up with all 8an and started to second guess myself. Wasn't sure if you were supposed to go with smaller line coming off the Y. I'm going to stick with all three 8an lines connected to the Y.
