Will you run a FP gauge on the fuel rail or in the the dash? Or just install a temp one for initial start up?

Can you please add details to this thread.

re: regulator at the tank instead of at the motor.

I've been running the regulator at the tank for several years. Not my idea, actually GM has been doing it for years on cars like the Vette.

The main reason(s) I like it is because it simplifies the fuel lines, only one to run up into the engine compartment. Secondly, it stops the heated fuel from the engine compartment and rails from going back to the tank. Not an issue in around-town driving, but you get out on the road for 200-300 miles and you would be amazed how hot the fuel in the tank gets. The gas is very hot coming back and the fuel level in the tank is dropping, making it even worse. This then causes the pump to cavitate, and eventually you're stuck on the side of the road waiting for stuff to cool off. Ask me how I know............ ;)

Power Tour 05 saw many cars have this issue.

Marty, I'm doing the same with my fuel system. I can't tell you how many times I discussed it with Jody. lol

I have a fuel pressure gauge in my dash. It will likely have the sender up in the "Y" from the main fuel feed line to the two fuel rails.

I'm thinking I should do this too! Everything sounds like it will work better and half the plumbing to the engine bay would be nice! I have a gauge in my dash as well. I like the idea of using a Y and feeding the rails seperate. Yep I like this a lot! :thumbsup:

car looks absolutely badass, line-x underneath? sorry if I missed it in a previous post. Going to have to show my buddy this thread he's got a similar car.
