Status: offline 		I just put some new fuel line on my Savage X. I made it a little longer than what was on there. Does the lenght affect the vehicle's tune?

Also, the diameter of the fuel passage way seems smaller, will this affect it?

I haven't ran it since I made the change; I'm just curious as to what I need to expect.

Status: offline 		they say that its best to have a long fuel line for the exhaust pressure line...... because it balances the fuel pressure out and makes it run better..... if there is any tuning to be done it will be small

Status: offline 		From my experience yes, the inner diameter of the fuel tubing and to a lesser extent the length will affect the tune of the engine. I couldn't get my .21 to run properly on "regular" fuel tubing when i replaced it and had to switch back to the big bore stuff...
