Thoughts? Mark, Jody, Bueller, anyone?

the fuel returning from the front mounted regulator was smoking hot due to a variety of reasons I'd guess; much bigger pump than required (A1000 Aeromotive), no pump controller to slow it down, fuel rails and engine compartment heating the rails, lines, and regulator, chrome plated intake and rails, etc. If you bypass at the rear it's not likely that the fuel will get warmed much at all. Mine is that way, and after driving 150 miles to Hot August Nights last year the stainless tank wasn't even warm.
