Is Ported banjo bolt recommended?

[015point9]

While looking at different fuel line set ups noticed a "ported" banjo bolt for the VP 44.  I'm in process of installing 1/2 inch line from tank to VP44 via Airdog 100.  In my head (maybe incorrectly) that a bigger fuel line equals more fuel available.  My truck is all stock except for fuel line.  I'm all for more volume and less restriction to get fuel from point A to point B.

 

(Question)      But is going from a (port) hole of .137 of an inch to .185 of an inch really worth it for a stock set up?

I would go with a straight 90* fitting into the vp44 instead of trying to use a banjo. It might be supplied in the kit.

Thanks.  Makes perfect since, not to mention 90 degree fitting probably has less restriction anyway.

Yes it does! Then make your cut for a fuel pressure gauge about a foot from the VP

Thanks...I see pic's that most people have fuel gauge connection close to VP.  I'm not in love with that location but not discounting it altogether.    Going to do some playing around with pressure readings.  Right now I have 22 psi with Airdog hanging on my fence testing a few things.

If The 90 does not come with the kit, Vulcan performance has them. I got mine with the a big line kit to remove the banjos from the filter canister to the VP. He should sell them separately,
