I was looking at Spectre SSteel-Flex Oil/Heater Hose Lines at Summit Racing http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SPE-39504/. Rated at 100 PSI. The Rubber hose is rated 400 psi. Summit has their own brand hose rated 1000 psi, but its -8 AN, which makes the ID less than 1/2". Trying to stay with 1/2" ID hose.
