Default Is it typical to upgrade the fuel system when you drop in a crate motor?

So, my fuel leak only occurs when the engine is running. This leads me to believe that its the hoses on the top of the tank.They may have rotted like the hose to the fuel pump did which i replaced last weekend.
My main question is this. Should one upgrade there fuel lines to bigger ones when the engine power goes up? I maen the ZZ4 with ported heands and mannifold is producing alot more power then the old L48 ever did!

I wouldnt as long as your fuel pump is suffcient. I mean you could go bigger incase your worried about having an extra gallon in the lines for pitting purposes... hehe.
