GW, I know how regulators work - this ain't my first rodeo...my point was, that in every example case that they show, Aeromotive is not bypassing and returning back by the tank - They are doing so w/the regulator located after the fuel rails, up in the engine compartment, which would be returning (heated) fuel back to the tank which we know can cause problems etc.

My main question is really if I can avoid having to run any return, after the rails (ie, just regulate/bypass and return back by the tank, and "deadhead" the rails) and just forego the idea of boost-referencing the regulated fuel pressure. It would certainly simplify things. (diagram below)

I have not been able to get a clear idea on whether or not boost referencing would actually matter, in my case. My max boost will be 12PSI with 96lb/hr injectors. It seems that boost referencing matters more on engines running tons of boost, but, this is only anecdotal observation, on my part.

The fuel pump I have is one of the new Holley (two bosch-type pumps in one case) and the plan is to have the BS3 ECM turn on the second pump based on RPM. The primary pump will have the Aeromotive PWM speed controller on it so that it is not running at max output when I'm just cruising around, etc.

Cataracts? no, but I am basically blind in one eye, so, there ya go
