does fuel tempeture make a diffrence? i spent today rerouting my fuel lines and rear brake line away from the tunnel and put them along side the driver side boxed subframe connector. i did it because i have long tube headers, x pipe, and magnaflow resonators style mufflers all tucked up right under the torque arm and drive shaft and had about 3/16s of clearance from the lines along the entire drive side of the exhaust. since the subframes hang a little low i hid the lines toward the inside part of the frame so no one can see them unless ur right under the car. had allot of fuel line left over so i cut them and put some rubber hoses with FI clamps on them. i don't have any pics i'll maybe snap a few with my cell phone later but i've notice the car idle a little bit lower and also noticed that the car starts on the first crank now instead on a few turn overs. how will this affect the car performance wise if any?

lol sorry for the pics. only camera i have is on my cell phone.
i got the stock lines and straighten them out with my hands. i left the fuel filter in its stock location just ran a rubber hose to it. same goes for the return and evap line. i just reran the brake one without cutting it.
lines straightened out.
about a year ago my stock plastic line cracked and i had a fuel leak in my inner fender. i just replace the stock plastic line with steal braided ones and reused the stock fittings and added a clamp just in case.
