I'm going to be running a t-rex pump and it has the reg hose fittings. I want to run braided 6an all the way. Summit has some 3/8 hose to 6an fittings but they are back orderd till the end of july. Give me some ideas.

I'm looking at your signature. I see that you have 42 lb injectors. I would also imagine that you have a 255L intank pump and are running at or very near stock fuel presure? If so then you're making a mistake putting that T-Rex in. It's not going to help you pump more gas. Instead, it will be a restriction and only serve to add more heat to the fuel as it passes through that pump.

I'm probably going to add a 100-150 shot of n20. I aso thought about adding a sump to my tank and just running the t-rex as my main pump. I just started working on ideas for my fuel system.

Ok... the T-Rex thing for the kind of HP you're going to be running is a bad idea. The T-Rex is only good for roughly 162 lph at 40 psi while an intank 255L is good for 233 lph at 40 psi. If you're going to sump it and run an external pump you might want to consider one of the Aeromotive pumps. They're designed to do what you're wanting to do and flow all the gas you will ever need.
