is this ok for fuel injection hose?

need fuel injection hose rubber... not using braided... i hate that stuff. would this hose be ok? it says 50psi working pressure and 175psi max pressure. im not sure bout how much line im gona need. maybe 8ft. and i think fuel injection rubber hose goes for at least 4$ a foot. so id be saving here. max stretch would be roughly 1-2" from hard line to HSR. then watev i'll need at the gas tank to hard lines.

"Fuel injection hose" should be rated for 100psi working pressure, not 50.

Play it safe and get the hoses designated for fuel injected engines. I did it with my 350 TBI set up but I got the earl stainless fuel injected hoses. Have some spare incase I ever want to go TPI/LS1.
