What size hose is recommended between the regulator and the carburetor? -6 or -8? 950hp street car.1150 Dominator.
I thought I heard somewhere not to go too big. Something about the signal at the needle and seat.....

Either seems to work fine. I use -6 and have seen motor making way more than mine use the same.

I should have asked and specified that I also run 2 lines to the carb from the regulator. If I was going to run one single line from the regulator to the carb w/ a fuel log or something similar, I'd probably use a -8 to be safe.
