I'm going to use -10an fittings for my vc to catch cans. I want to know what hoses and hose ends are recommended for my set up and future set up. So far swivels and push lock have been recommended. Is there a difference in brands? What do you racers use/wish to use? Thanks in advance!

My set up is:
DD
Stock Block
8 turbo, but a 9 on the bench
E85
Various supporting mods
I'm at 360hp/350tq right now

Future set up is:
Shop Test Car/AutoX/Drag/RR
Built 2.3/2.4
T3 Turbo
E85
Mods for 500+ hp/tq

Since this is only for a catch can, I realize I can just put a hose and a worm clamp on, but I'm trying not to buy items twice. Plus since these are reusable, I may use it down the road in a higher pressure situation.

Also, I like the look of the black nylon hose and black anodized ends. So far with my researching XRP, Aeroquip, Russell and Earls are the leading brands. I like the swivel fittings and that they are reusable.

sounds like you already made your mind on the black nylon hoses, stm uses them and has had great success

Thanks! Yes, the black nylon seem to be more my style, but there are several kinds. It looks like STM uses Russell Proclassic. If it's good enough for them then I'll put it on the list.

Anyone else?

You honestly can't got wrong with anything made by the brands you listed. Just make sure you use the correct fittings for the type of hose you're using and you won't have any trouble.
