New fuel system for the Dart

Sorry, but I have to ask...and I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. I understand the 3/8" line currently from tank to pump, but why the 1/2" line from current mechanical pump to carb? What's the benefit of the larger pump to carb fuel line?
In theory, lol, to act as a capacitor or volume surge tank when instant transition to full throttle. Whether or not it functions that way.............
