Title: What size of and type of fuel line and pump works best with 2L plus IDA Motor

What size of and type of fuel line (bore diameter) and pump works best with 2L plus IDA Motor

I was thinking about useing a Holly 97 PPH "RED" and some 7mm aeroquip hose and fittings but wasnt sure if this would provide enought fuel for 2332cc drag motor ?

Any suggestions appreaciated.

The Holley pump will support it! I would consider some larger line though.

Yes ,the Holley pump would be fine. How much power do you think it would make ?  I too think that 7mm line is a bit small.  If you are using steel braided line -8 to the regulator & - 6 to the carbs would work fine. If you plan on making more than about 230 or so hp you might take a look to see what others are running to support that power level.  Have fun   Bill
