I'm not running braided, but push-loc, and 20ft was plenty to run along the original fuel line routing. And made a front cross over(twice lol). With about 3 feet left.

Unless Your Goin 1000+ HP I'm Pretty Sure You Won't Need A -10 Line. What Kind Of Power Is Your Car Making?

-10 is overkill. Harder to route, more expensive & not worthwhile until you are over the 1200hp range.
Unless you are feeding it with much more than 2 pumps, -8 is fine.

Recently did 1100rwhp on a -8 with stable pressure.

-8 sounds like a better decision huh? i was thinking doing -10 once and not having to worry about restriction later. i'm building a front mount MPT76 right now and looking at about 650 hp. going with a PT88 later or twin MPT76s

-8 Should Still Be Fine. People Have Went 1000+ On The Stock Lines So You'll Be Fine With The -8, Even If You Do Upgrade Later.
