Default which fuel rails and regulator?

Building a turbo 5.3 for my camaro. Pt88 turbo, magnafuel 750 pump. -10 feed, -8 return. Which fuel rails and ragulator do you suggest? Does the rails need to be -10 like the feed I assume. Does the regulator need to be -8 inlet and outlet like the return? Advice is appreciated.

Most aftermarket rails are threaded for 8an, so you could get a 10-8an coupler from your hose to the end of the rail..

Mount your FPR on the rails via another 8an connection, when shopping for FPR's some inlets are 6,8,10.. 8 would work perfect IMO..

Then run your return to the regulator, my magnafuel FPR has a 8an return so I'm running a 8-6an reducer because my return line is 6an..

How much Hp? E85? Or regular?

Also are you going to do a "y" double feed setup or single feed with a crossover?

I'm looking for about 700 daily and I want to turn it up once on the dyno to shoot for 1k. I was planning on running a single feed into the drivers side rail, crossover then mount the fpr on the passenger side inner fender but I could mount it on the rail. But would -10 feed be a waste if the rails are only -8? And what is the part number on your magnafuel fpr with -8 inlet?

Mine is magnafuel 9950b boost referenced, I got it from nasty n8 along with other fittings..

-10an is overkill for 700hp, but the good thing is you won't ever have to upgrade them ever again..

-10 to -8 is not a waste, it's just overkill that's all.but once you go to 1k hp or more you'll be glad you have -10an.. Even though -8an is good for 1200+ hp. I would mount the FPR on the rail instead of the fender..

I guess my lack of knowledge makes me not understand how it would be benificial to have -10 from the pump to the rails if the rails are only -8? Since the pump is -10 would that just give you higher pressure in the rails with -10 feed to a -8 rail?
