its all about providing an ample supply of fuel to the carb/carbs---yes it might be slightly oversized but much better than being undersized ---I realize that ya all put these humongeous pumps 300-500 gal/phour and fuel lines on and the fuel only has to get thru a 70 something to 90 something jet---but cuz of all the bends and restrictions ya put in the fuel delivery system plus having to overcome having the tank in the rear of the vehicle--- can it really hurt------think about it ya can probably do a quick burnout and run most if not the whole 1/4 with whatever fuel ya have in just the float bowls-- ya really dont need much more than a 1 gal fuel tank plus what ever is in the fuel lines to do a burn out run the 1/4 and drive back down the return road, go to the scales and go back to your pit spot and have maybe at least a 1/2 gal if not more left over---ya wanna run a -6 or -8 fine go ahead and do it---makes no difference to me whatsoever
