I went to lunch with the guy who fabbed and installed my -6AN lines for the conversion. He said the ID of the 6AN lines seemed slightly smaller than the OEM lines, so perhaps it's not getting enough volume. If we went to -8AN, then we might get too much volume. I don't have my OEM lines to compare, but if that's the issue then I don't know what the happy medium would be unless we changed the orifice size on the pressure side of the pump.

How would a bigger line cause too much volume? The pump should be responsible for how much fluid gets pumped at what pressure.

Agreed. It would have to be a flow valve or flow rate issue. But not likely something caused by the hoses. PS Pumps can run at pressures over 1000 PSI and if it's in the mood to push fluid through there...it's going to do it.
