Hard line VS soft line?

Never saw anyone bounced for more than 12" of rubber hose. They might get picky if you are going into the 8's or lower. Running e85 or methanol might warrant SS. Bag the braided hose as much as you can. Its great in the trunk if you have your cell, pump and battery there. Its just great insurance and takes abuse better. Rubber to the hard line after the pump and when you you are snaking through the K. Run that hard line to the rad support and terminate it before the regulator. Thermal tape once you are into the engine compartment. Braided line and all those fittings cost more and add weight over the hard line/rubber hose. Try to swage the hard line ends for less chance of pull out.
