Fuel lines for an LS swap. The type of hose and fitting is important to reliability and longevity.

Forgot to post this: this is why I discourage stroker setups with boost.. see how much of the stock piston is exposed out of the cylinder? This is a stock stroke setup.. imagine how much… https://t.co/Bqk8tB2t2X
