Default LT1 Fuel Rail Setup for high HP

I am working on a project and am not sure if I want to do the rails in parallel or series. I was wondering what people though so I have a couple questions.

1. What size feed and return lines should i run and what fittings should i have welded in.

2. What afpr should i use. I was thinking basic aeromotive( i forget pn)

3. Does anyone have some pictures of their setup.

Thanks for the help,
Mike

1) size depends on HP goals, but most can get by with -8 feed and -6 return.
2) Again, depends on HP goals, but most can get by with the basic aeromotive with -6an ports
3)I'll dig through my pics and find some for you.

I welded -8an fittings to the back of each rail, and a 3/8npt bung on the front top of each rail so I could thread in -6an X 3/8npt-90* fittings. They are plumbed in parallel with a y-block splitting the fuel feed to the back of each rail. The fuel leaves the front of each rail and travels to the regulator, from there it goes back to the tank via -6an line.

Thanks for the advice so far. I have no setup now, just a manifold which i am ehhhh, customizing, eh . So I am designing a fuel setup that I will put together. I am thinking of running a y-block into welded -8an lines in the back, then where the crossover tubes are, running hard lines back above the rails to a aeromotive afpr and -6an return. I have it pictured in my head, I was just interested if anyone else had some setup pictures, especially lt1s.
