I currently offer the kit with -10AN fittings and am wondering if I should offer it with -8AN fittings. My main apprehension is the ID of the -8AN fittings is around 0.100" smaller than the -10AN and the original fitting. Is the smaller fitting going to provide a detrimental restiction for a mild engine? Thoughts? Comments? Alan Jones

I would think that the -8 would be more in line with the supply size right before the plate.... but the -10 will always work... good looking part
