I have no troubles, with ~400 hp of DPFI engine...
I think it can do about 450 hp or so before running lo....but alot of that depends on pressure at the pump ...and flow capability, and regulators at the engine too.....

generally for a street car. 3/8 line is plenty...

I just turned 6500 rpms with my 406 this morning,and didn't seem to have any fuel starvation. I am running an Edelbrock 110gph pump though,but with the stock 3/8" lines. :chevy
