Just no one with the answer has checked in yet.
I don't believe anything is changed inside the tank, all fuel line upgrades are between the tank and the pump.

FASS comes with 3/8" and will handle...along with the different fittings....all you can throw at it.
If I remember correctly, my stock system started pulling below 5 psi FP at 340 hp. Went to Scotty's Max Flow System and it solved all problems up to 450 hp. His new design will go even higher, I believe, and also does a great job of protecting the life of lift pumps...I never had to replace mine for 60,000 miles, at which time I went to a FASS.

I had trouble finding a good answer to this as well. I belive you are wondering how to hook the new lines into the system. A 3/8 line will slide on the nipple that comes out of the tank after you pop the plastic clip off of it. Put a hose clamp on it and it won't move.
And no it is not a stupid question.

According to flow charts 3/8" id tubing will flow 22 gph with a .5 psi loss per ten feet. At 22 gph if you were getting 10 miles per gallon the 3/8" line could support a speed of 220 mph.
