Default Hard Lines for Fuel Injection

Hey guys.

Is there anything wrong with using 2 supply (3/8") factory lines in stainless and flaring the ends for fittings?

Thought it'd be easier to just buy 2 pre-bent supply lines in stainless.

this summer I did a Fitech Go EFI 4 on a maybe High 400 hp HR 383 (something like 232/238 112) edelbrock E-210 heads (Owner had them) 10.4 C/R headman headers

1978 Vette Went with a new tank with internal pump. I'm not saying it was right, but we did reuse the existing stock 3/8 supply and the 5/16th stock return lines. It seems to work fine. Later on I heard that FiTech suggested a 3/8th return

IMO you don't have that much return flow.

I never drove the vette before the switch, But the owner was never happy with his Holley avenger carb. Now it has no bog and he gained a couple mpg.

oh, we did not us the timing control. just msd hei
