Splitting stock fuel line.

When installing another fuel line for nitrous use, do I have to make a custom fuel line using "AN" fittings and adapters or can I tap into the steel line with rubber fuel hose and clamps. I know the stock fuel pressure on my tbi camaro is 9-13psi but, can I get away with this or should I make my own using the "AN" fittings. I want to do it right but I don't want to waste any money if I don't need to. Thanks

how much do you plan on spraying?

you shouldn't need an extra fuel line for the spray until you are really getting into some high n2o shots and then it can be an "option"

I'm starting with a 100 shot. I'm going to get the "NOS" TBI system for my tbi Camaro RS. I think it's a Wet system and needs a separate fuel line along with the Nitrous line. Does anyone have this system?

If you are buying a complete kit for your application, then it should have the necissary fittings and hose to tap into the fuel system included in the kit.

Great, I'm gonna get the TBI Kit from "NOS" I think the part number is 5153. I didn't think the kit would be so complete.

You could cut the hard line and use rubber hose and clamps with a T or Y hose barb fitting, or if you wanted to do it a more "professional" way, cut and flair the hard line, and use tube nuts and sleaves (or use hard line adapters) to splice in an AN style T or Y fitting, and use and AN hose end and hose off of that to fuel solenoid.
