Fuel line run question
Some folks cross thru the frame rail and run lines inside the passenger wheel well. I chose not to go that route on a street driven car. I'm not an NHRA tech expert, best to talk with the folks at the track you plan to run.
Section 1.5 also states:
Fuel lines (except steel braided lines) in flywheel/bellhousing area must be enclosed in a 16-inch (40.6 cm) length of steel tubing, 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) minimum wall thickness, securely mounted as a protection against fuel line rupture.
Looking at your hard lines running up the firewall they should be flex or shielded by the rules.
I used my floor jack handle to run my hard lines thru going forward in the bell housing area and used the stock fuel line route. At the stock mechanical pump location the lines transition to shielded flex. Heat rises so I figured if I'm near the header I want to be below the heat source. I'll have to take a picture of this later today and post it.
