Default Fuel Pump & line ?

Just wanted to know if I need to change the fuel pump and fuel lines when I convert the crossfire to a tuned port. Pipe

need a new pump, the x-fire runs 12 psi, tpi 40-50 (pump has 65 psi capability)...fuel lines will need 3/8 supply and 5/16 return, check if all hoses, connections are good for working pressure + safety factor (usually 4x working press, so you could hook up compressed air to one end of the line and plug the other, if 160 psi holds, you're gold)

The fuel pump, yes. The fuel lines, no. They are already the same, at 3/8" supply and 5/16" return. The Crossfire fuel filter is connected with hoses and clamps, where the higher pressure TPI filter has threaded connections. You may want to look into that. You also may want to clamp the hoses inside the tank to the new pump, if you haven't already.

That is a lot of trouble and expense for no improvement in performance.

RACE ON!!!
