My car is very very basic and I know what I spent.I have # 10 on mine and even those are almost $30 bucks each ...I don't have any #12 and up but looking at them on the shelf at the speed shop always makes for a GASP! :lol:

A NOS car with two fuel sytems etc...$$$

Look at ANY pro car in any venue, NASCAR upper, SCCA, NHRA, etc., and it's no wonder that new fittings manufacturers are springing up all over ! Fittings and lines can be a VERY large chunk of the overall cost of a race car. And you're a total idiot to use lowbuck offshore crap. Fuel and oil system components are NOT an area you want to scrimp on ! As is an onboard fire suppression system. MORE is better there !
