I searched and I could not find any sponsors on LS1 Tech called shomespeed. I finally figured out their name is "sho me speed". What a wonderful search engine these sites have.
Anyway, searching sho me speed's website turned up no info on this hose that you speak of, slowec. Where can I find it?

I have done a little reading about this, and it looks like the best stuff is from Racetronix.

Lonnies Performance is an LS1Tech sponsor that sells it.

Sorry for the confusion. The sho me speed hose comes in a dual fuel pump package under the fuel pump heading on the web site. Called him directly and he said he had some complaints with gates hose and now he uses a different local brand that works good. It is nice to talk to people that are "in the game" and make ya feel like they are testing and improving their products.

That is what I have always used with great results.

The pics of the kits using plastic tube make it look like they are on the fittings with no clamps, and it seems like that is how my OEM setup was. Does Racetronix or Lonnies offer any instructions about clamping or maybe stretching the plastic tube over a fitting?

You use the same crimp style clamp as it looks like you have. I would not run them without a clamp.

Take that back, I dont know what clamps you using but the ones that I am referring to are a one time use and they squeeze from 360 degree rather then putting most of the pressure on a 90 degree area like a standard hose clamp.

Got it, thanks. Do you think it would be possible to stretch the 8.5 mm tubing over a +- 9.5 mm fitting, Pat?

Or actually the 8 mm size, because they only have the 8.5 mm in 90 mm lengths.

I am not sure, why can't you go a hair longer? What is the next closest length? I am not sure what size all of my stuff is as I got my pumps and lines from Lonnie @ Lonniesperformance. Maybe call him, he is a cool guy.
