the pressure does drop in larger lines, that is why there is a lope.
the ecm in the auto is different than a manual, larger lines work better in a stick.
the injection lines carry pressurized fuel to the injectors from the vp44 pump.

More than likey, yes. On fuel alone I personally don't think a VP44 powered engine needs any bigger lines.
