Will 4an main line support a 200-250 shot?

Im piecing together a kit and need to know so i only have to buy it once!

Also what fittings do i need on the ends of the lines? What fitting type are on most solenoids? How about the bottle and fogger nozzle?

What size is the schrader valve on the fuel rail?

yes the -4 line will support that. most feed -4 lines have -4 an fittings. the schreader valve is also -4 i believe,been a while so dont quote me 100%.
most nozzles are -3 fittings,but NX sells a custom hose with -3 ends and -4 line.

-4 line is ok up to 250hp. The solenoids should have -4 inlet and -3 outlets. The schrader (spelling?) valve is also -4 and on the LT1 you can just remove the little valve stem ( looks like a bicycle tire valve stem) and screw the -4 line directly to the schrader valve.
I used to be a tech for NX and this is how their parts are, but not 100% sure for all company's parts.

Hope this helps you...

so do the noids have male or female ends on them?

Im trying to decide what lines with what ends i need to buy.

one feed line with 2 female ends?
2 small lines with 2 female ends for the noids to nozzle?
1 small line with 2 females for the fuel feed line?

do they make a 4an to 3an reducer to hook the lines to the nozzle?

i think the noids have an npt female fitting inside them and you must use a male-male adapter to the an size?

If your solenoids are anything like NOS's cheater solenoids, you need a 1/4 NPT to -3AN Male/Male fitting to thread into the solenoids. Then you can run -3 line to your nozzle and not have to worry about adapters. I honestly dont know if -3 will support that kind of horsepower, but if your nozzle necks down to -3 there is no point to running -4 up to it.

Here is the fitting you need, but you will need a 1/4NPT instead of a 1/8:
