I did the Power Tour with a bypass setup (Gen6/Aeromotive), and drove 3300+ miles in 7 days, some days 9 hours or more straight, only stopping to gas & eat. I never suffered a fuel heating issue (pressure rise/drop), or pump failure, and this was 80-90+ degree weather, bumper to bumper stop & go at times. Maybe I just got lucky? The only area that would in my setup absorb heat would be the rails themselves, every other area was either away from radiant heat or wrapped.
New vettes are dead head? I've never noticed, or looked for that matter!
Hm, maybe I'll take a shot at dead heading my friend's project. Would give him ammo though if he had problems with it! Sure would make life easier though, that's for sure! Thanks a ton for your input, greatly appreciate it!
Oh, how did you run the boost reference line back to the regulator?

2005 Power Tour there were at least 6-8 guys that I personally saw stranded like us with the fuel heating issues. I was in a borrowed car that I didn't plumb, we ended up adding 20' of coiled copper tubing in an ice chest to the return line to make it through the tour.
Vettes, GTO's, and others have been regulated at the rear for many years now.
