JMAC - Yes, in theory, bank 2 bank is more susceptable to hammering than SEFI.
Jody- You've certainly drawn my curiosity here. I was also under the impression that you want the regulator as close to the injectors as possible, which allows for a faster reaction time to pressure variances. I understand (and have seen others with) your setup, with the regulator in the rear, though it goes against all the design theory I've been taught or researched, so I'm trying to understand. You're saying you see no variations in pressure? Is it possible you're just not seeing it? What types of rail pressures do you use? Generally higher pressures, like 60+?
I've seen 'recommended' system maps by manufacturers of pumps, and as I recall, all recommend the typical bypass system with the regulator either on the fuel rail or right at the fuel rails. I have lately also seen several aftermarket projects that use dead head systems, which has made me wonder.
I'm getting ready to help a friend with a fuel system project that is a big block supercharged application. Space is a premium, and if possible, a dead head in this case would be an answer to the packaging. Maybe I need to go back and re-research the topic, since it seems my knowledge may be dated.
