hello everyone.

been trying to find some information on a fuel issue im about to have. im up grading my fuel lines with stainless steel braided line and AN fittings. I currently have 5/16 lines and the issue im coming across is that 5/16 is quite un common in AN fittings. So im not sure if i should get the bigger 3/8 AN 6 line and have more volume and possibly a little less pressure, or get the 1/4 AN 4 line and have much more pressure and possibly a little less volume. I do have an upgraded walbro 485 pump so im inclined to go with the bigger line. also am running 925cc injectors.

thanks!!!

Kind of dislike trying to guess as an answer, but in this case I think that I'd go the slightly larger route due to the upgraded components but also be ready for possibly adjustable fuel pressure needs since the VG30DETT is so finicky there...and I assume it's a TT?
I'd talk to a good known mechanic about this as well just to be sure, I use my Z guy Doug at Fairlady motors for these types of questions.
