Default fuel system question y or t

I am redoing my fuel system and running dual 044 pumps in a -8 line to the motor. where i split the lines to run into each fuel rail it would be a much cleaner install to use a -8 T fitting then to use a Y fitting. Is there much if any flow compromise using a T fitting thats -8 on all 3 sides vs a y fitting thats -8 on all 3 sides to feed the fuel to the fuel rails? thanks

I would think the t block would disrupt the flow of fuel unlike the y blocks.
Y block is very common to use must be fore a reason.

Lot more head loss with a T than a Y

I think the Y block would flow more naturally to where it needs to go. Now saying that wouldn't it be better to run a -10 that splits into 2 -8s?

For a nice y with a parallel exit look into fore innovations. Makes for a cleaner install than the traditional y block.
