Kyle,

It's not critical. -6 lines are more than large enough.....but -8 lines will work great too.

Keep in mind that if this car is going to be street driven you really need to add the idle bleed/return to the 5010 regulator to convert it to a 5011. This will prevent vapor lock with high engine compartment temperatures and pump gas.

Hey  thanks for the fast reply! The motor is in a mud racing truck runin 116 race fuel so i didnt think i needed the idle bleed and the tracks are only 200-250 foot long.so would i still need it?
