What size fuel line?

What size fuel line should I go with? From tank to fuel rail and return.
This is what I was thinking. -8 from tank to rail, -6 from rail to FPR and -4 from FPR to tank. This is pretty much copying what I got off when I just looked at 1viciousgsx's cardomain site. Anybody have any other ideas or think I should do something else?
Mods:
2.4l(built)
650cc injectors(possibly upgrading to 1000cc)
20G turbo(going to be running about 18psi)
some kind of fuel rail
Aeromotive Fuel pressure regulator
255 Fuel pump
I think thats all that you would need to know

Re: What size fuel line?

How much power do you plan on making?
The stock fuel line will support a 20g at 18psi.

If you are running a line back to the tank make it a -6.

I'd wait until it's a restriction. People are making over 600whp with stock lines on a 1G.

Re: What size fuel line?

I agree, I am just now changing my lines. E85 and high HP can't be good for the stock 3/16" lines. I am going with -6AN all the way around, except to the prefilter & pump. -6AN will flow over 3 times as much as the stock lines, so that will be fine.

Re: What size fuel line?

On a turbo DSM the stock fuel lines will be ok up to 500 whp or so. Then it starts to be a restriction.
