What do I need to convert over to braided fuel lines?
Well I took my car to the exhaust shop to have my homemade SFC's cut out and the new UMI ones welded in. So as everyone knows nothing can go perfect and well they melted my factory plastic line. They fixed it and all but now it gives me a reason to go with braided steel lines. So my question is exactly what and how many of what do I need to convert over? I want to run the lines behind the brake booster to hide them if that makes a difference.

You can get quick disconnect adapters for -6an from summit. Russell makes them part 640853 3/8 and 640863 5/16 to adapt to the hard rail lines. You could also use them at the fuel module. then just find a filter and run the lines. I used the 5/16 adapter for running -6 to my factory fuel rail on my SRT4, worked great. I have been thinking about running lines on the Camaro and these fittings are what I am going to use.

i also got all the fittings from pure choice motor sports. four in total two feed adapters and two return adapters. then i just ordered 15 ft of braided line from jegs. pretty easy to do. you may need to use some steel wool or fine sand paper on the hard lines under the car to make the adapters fit.

The fuel fittings "5810" and "5820" fit our cars. You need 2 of each for at the fuel rail and down under the car. Then two 48" long braided line if you want to run it straight down the frame like I did. I would call them up because there isn't really a single kit.. you gotta piece it together.

cool thanks... did you run it down the rail on the inside for the engine bay like following the brake lines... or did you cut the hole in the wheel house like the other people do... did you get the braided line from them also and what diameter line did you get? sorry for all the questions im not really good when it comes to this crap...
