What size line?
What size line? I bought a direct port kit, and it came with a dash 6 line as he called it. Its prety big in diameter, its too short, and I don't think it will reach to the back in the spare tire area. I am looking at dynotunes website and they have a 4AN thats 16ft long. Would this be good enough for a 250 shot? I think the dash 6 line that came with my kit is way to big.
You should be able to find a double male coupling through a few of the Sponsors to the right. We have them (not on our site yet) along with 6 an hose which is on our site.

How many ft should I buy to reach it in the spare tire area? I was told the line that I have now is 10ft long, and a dash 6. I am assuming thats the same as a AN6, right?

you can use the 6AN line and couple it with another piece of 6AN to reach the trunk area. If you wanted to switch to the 4AN and just order one that's long enough that would work also. The 4AN line will flow enough nitrous to support almost double what you are wanting to run.

Thanks!

The math:
single jet x .71 = one dual jet
so,
.062 x .71 = .044 You'll need a pair of .044 jets to equal one .062 single jet.

I got a D in calc 3... lol Oh well, thanks for pointing that out!! 
So do you know about the -4 vs -6?-somebody
edit: What does .031 stand for? And how does it compare to a .063 "orifice" 'noid? is .031 the area in inches? If so then what's the inner area of a -4 line?

The -4 line will flow enough nitrous to support ~440rwhp. The .031" is the orifice of the jet (in thousandths of an inch). An .063" solenoid has a 63 thousandths hole inside the solenoid (directly below the piston).
The 4an line is .150 or 150 thousands, now this is measured at the crimped on fitting. The actual inside diameter of hose maybe a little bigger, but we must go by this fitting restriction on both ends. Also, max flow of a 4an line depends also on bottle press for how much it will flow in reality. My kit specifies 950psi bottle pressure, but I run 1170 so I can flow a little more than stock specs indicate.

Thanks guys!
So just to clarify, when you say, -4 can flow enough for 440RWHP, and I'm dynoing at 430RWHP w/a 250 shot (320 N/A), then I should upgrade? Or is that 440RWHP an additional 440RWHP shot? Meaning, I could hit 700+ total RWHP?

Somebody- What I meant was ~440rwhp on the nitrous system. So if you are dynoing 320rwhp N/A, technically you could get 760rwhp and still use a -4 line. This number is based on testing that was done on a car competing in EZ Street back when the rules only allowed for a single stage system with -4 Stainless Steel feed line. Now if you are going to be running two stages and splitting the main feed line with a Y fitting I would suggest running a -6 line, but for a single stage you could get the 400rwhp out of the -4 line.
