Default Fuel line size for 800bhp?

Anyone know?

Main line from pump to rail.

Is 10mm pipe enough, or is bigger needed?

Is there anywhere that lists stuff like that? Im sure there must be.

Yeah, ID.

Is there a general rule listed anywhere for sizes for different power on a fuel injected car?

I'm sure there are many.. but ultimately it's fluid dynamics, where you figure out how much you need to flow, how much you need to return (based on your pump/fuel system design)...

I had twin 8mm feed pipes and a 12mm return on the GTR and that was rated safe to 1200bhp
