a lot of places
-4 AN for oil feed
-10 An for oil drain
I just buy summit racing brand Becuase it's an aluminum fitting and are very high tech and summits brand is a lot cheaper too. Sumeet on the Facebook page sells them. He's probably your best bet, hell set you up with a kit.

Summit AN fittings are under sized and suck balls. Go with Earls

You people keep forgetting that you get what you pay for. Cheap, fast and reliable. Pick 2.

Summits fittings are fine. I'm using them right now and have no problem. just like eBay intercooler piping. It's the same as spending twice as much from somewhere else. Or an eBay intercooler. They work fine for 500 hp and I know plenty of people using them without problems.Cheap fast and reliable doesn't apply to everything. It's not like if it's cheap that automatically means it sucks. Define "you people"

Just to give you a little idea of what I mean. http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/hrdp_1209_an_hose_ends_fittings_comparisons/viewall.html

And just like ebay intercooler piping, you can get that massively thin wall bullshit that'll crush before it gets tight enough to do anything.

Cheap, fast and reliable applies to all things if you think about it correctly.

and you clearly didn't get my point, I was showing you a -6 isn't always the same. google summit hose ends and check out all the threads from people complaining of leaking fittings etc etc.

People complain about everything. The only thing you need to pay attention to is getting the right fitting to match your hose material. And plus, not everything you read on google is correct. I'm using summit racing fittings and they're about 2k miles strong still moing no leaks. Unless you've actually used them yourself your point is invalid. I'm even using summits braided hose and I have no problems. Couldn't complain about quality. My turbos using Fragola and summit.
