I don't believe you'll *need* 3/8ths line but if you already have it there is no harm in keeping it that I know of.

You do not need the 3/8's line. My last small block car was putting 423 h.p to the wheels running the stock 5/16's line.

ok thanks, i have the 5/16ths sending unit, but figured as long as im doing the whole fuel system over, may as well do it right if i need to eventually, just put together a 4ish year plan to get it where i want it, im counting on quite a raise the 4th year hahaha....crossing my fingers...

The 5/16" line is more than plenty and will reduce the workload on your fuel pump.
