Need bigger fuel lines?
At what point with horsepower and torque would you need to replace the stock fuel lines with bigger ones. I am wondering if I should look into that. Anyone with any advice
I do have a holley 255lph fuel pump.

Just watch your fuel pressure at WOT. I'll bet it holds up fine.

Re: Need bigger fuel lines?
If you're tuned and your not running lean in the high load/high rpm range, then you'll be fine.
I "believe" the magic number though is somewhere around 500hp. This information is on this site somewhere. I did a search on it about 6 months ago and found it.
