Jegs Proflow hose. Lightweight. The fittings will be a small fortune, regardless of name vs no name.

You can buy used NASCAR hoses on ebay and save some money.

Tom,
Its rated to 1500 PSI. It will be fine to 65 PSI. I was not very specific, its the 350 series hose.

Can't make a twistlock leak Tom. I have however seen braided line connectors leak due to improper assembly. You will be fine either way.

more worried about if it would go to deadhead pressure for some reason and having it blow off...I've been on fire before;)

Just from experience I think it would be more likely the hose would rupture before it came off the fitting in any scenario...impossible to pull one off, must be cut. ;)

Rich, do you think that hose is legal to use from pump in trunk to engine compartment ? I thought metal or steel braided was required.........

Pretty sure it is NHRA approved. Mine is protected/shielded in the flywheel area.

Confirmed - pg 97 http://promod.nhra.com/userfiles/fil...edProducts.pdf

Thanks. Prices are all over the place for braided line. I'll check out the russel stuff.
