stock fuel line limit? What is the limit of the stock fuel lines? My project will have a 408 that should put down about 500/500 on the motor. Now I plan on spraying up to a 300 in total on the n02. Will the stock fuel lines from the tank to the fuel rails support this? This will be a dry setup.

there are online calculators for that will tell you fuel speed through the line at a given line size, fuel pressure, and horsepower
i used this to determine that for 'normal' fuel speeds i would be safe with a single -8 line for anything i would ever do with the car.
i dont know the drawbacks of having fuel moving so quickly across a distance but assume that there are some

so from what I can tell it is all about how much fuel pressure you can produce. With a dual intank setup it seems that there will be enough pressure to support 800 rw on a nitrous setup.
So if you from a single to a dual setup is there a disadvantage of having say a 255l and a 355l in the tank together?

I'm not sure what drawbacks there would be but the car has ran consistently well since it was finished.
