Hi few questions

Any pros and cons of running the fuel line in the trans tunnel ? My tunnel is raised

Also anyone have PTFE hose brand advice? Anything to consider?

I would not do it. Heat from the transmission combined with risk of a broken driveshaft rupturing the fuel line.

The outside of the frame rail avoids header heat. Same as factory.

Fuel line in my Mustang was run in the trans tunnel -- couldn't get it moved fast enough!

Brown and Miller racing solutions. Convoluted PTFE liner, all crimped ends extremely high pressure check.
They currently have almost every cup team.
Great to work with, send them garden hose as templates or hose of your choice, indicate ends you want they will make them up, you can have heat insulation material covering certain sections near headers just indicate on template. Plug and play.
Great product, sleep at night, it will not fail! 4 bar no problem.
