Default fuel system help

Im in the process of building my fox body. I have a 347 stroker, trick flow twisted wedge heads, trick flow type r intake, and a v3 supercharger. Im planning on 600hp when all said and done and the car will be a street/strip car. I have my 1/2" fuel rails, aeromotive 700 hp efi fuel pump, aeromotive filter, and aeromotive regulator. My issue is coming with the fuel lines, I am trying to find a good set of braided fuel lines but all the ones i find say "not compatible with fuel injection". Does anyone know where i can find a good set? doesnt actually have to be braded but i would prefer it. Also where can i find the an fittings for the lines? I'd like to run -8 to and -6 return.

Sorry for the story i just wanted to make sure i covered all my bases. I have only messed with the fuel systems on carb cars this is my 1st fuel injection build.

You can get AN fittings anywhere, the cheapest place is a aircraft parts dealer same stuff for fractions on the dollar! Any high pressure braded line will work with efi systems!

All you need is a braded or steel impregnated hose rated over 150psi which is reletively low pressure for its uses!

Most braded lines are used in aircraft hydraulic and fuel systems( rated over the 30-50lbs) your efi system will operate at, except in high stressed areas then they use rigid lines!

You can get the 8-10$ fittings summit sells for about 1.50-3$ ea I cant remember the supplier just search for aircraft fittings and you will find the cheap stuff, anything dubbed and used in the automotive performance world triples in cost for no reason!
