Default Stock tank with aftermarket lines.

1999 z28, going to after market lines but keeping stock tank and hat, 340 pump and -8 feed line... have a 12-846 Holley regulator and wondering about what return line I should use? People have said go bigger than the feed line and others have said go smaller! Just looking for what I need to do as it’s the last part I need done.

I would say same size or bigger. As long as there is not excessive pressure in the return line. Its possible a smaller line will work. A bonus with a bigger return line, if you ever upgrade to the point your current feed line isnt big enough, you have a bigger line already there. Just switch them as long as the return doesnt have too much pressure.

Thanks, I think for my set up the -8 feed and -6 will be best for my set up, nitrous car with a stand alone
