Default E85 return line size

I'm upgrading my fuel line to run e85 and ordered -8 feed and -6 return. Should I return the -6 hose and fittings and get -8 for the return line as well? Looking for about 650-700 hp 1000cc injectors

Two setups on e85 have -8 return

For cocaine will have -10 return


For only 600 up goal -6 is fine but if you plan more run -8 it won't hurt and only help

Eventually I'll turn my boosted daily back into a stock n/a daily so I'll be switching everything on it over to a boosted single cab 408. I guess spending a few more dollars for the -8 wouldnt be a bad idea especially since it won't hurt me. Thanks for the replies
