Any pics of the new fuel feed 8AN line?
Thanks!!!
I don't have it installed yet. My car is put away in the barn for the winter. Pics will have to wait until spring.

Heck you would probably find it cheaper to run hydraulic hose that is gasoline compatible than the SS braided stuff you are all using. Sure, it may not look as pretty, but I would take 4 braid 4000+ PSI hose over some teflon tube surrounded by 2 SS braids any day of the week. Also consider the heat rejection benefits the thicker rubber hose will have over the SS stuff.
The funny thing is, I actually asked about it casually when I was at a hydraulic supply store picking up some stuff for work recently (for big engines, 2500 HP
continuous rating). They said they could order hose that would work. Will JIC fittings
attach directly to AN fittings?

I agree. The stock fuel rail (and likely entire fuel system) is sufficient for NA cars.
