Fuel Line Choice and size

I can’t think of a reason why anyone making over 400 hp would ever use a mechanical pump, and why you wouldn’t buy the biggest pump and run a return system is beyond me. Aside from the initial investment there is no reason not to do it. It’s just a better system.

Many came that way, mechanical pump.
Now switch mechanical pump to belt driven water pump. Aside from that comparison imo its the line between race or race tech meets street/strip or hotrodder.
I'm all for 3/8 line and its jmo anyways.. but that's why I asked the question of our members who have switched while maintaining the same motor combination.
Or a dyno test. Maybe engine last'rs tested this already. In sure it's been done and the outcome circulated..and misapplied interpreted 6 ways to Sunday.
