Boostin, shouldn't the regulator go before the Y fitting? The return fuel (from the manifold) shouldn't need regulated, will it?

It could go before or after. I know many drag racers like it after to compensate for acceleration. I've done it both ways without issue, but there are many manufacturers and experts that draw it up just like his drawing.

My opinion, there are other ways proven to work. And the approved method in the drawing can cause some issues and costs that you don't have with the other ways.

Yep, what Jody said. VaporWorx is the best solution around.

Ok ...so everyone is pointing to vaporworx. How much should I expect to pay for the upgraded section that would need to be welded into the tank? Im guessing it comes as a complete kit with everything I need? Im ready to pull the trigger on buying the rest of this stuff so Im going to hold off unitll I explore all other options. Thanks Guys.

I wrote them an email. Put my fuel line order on hold. I not going to lie the thought of my having my expensive s/s tank cut up to be modified is making me sick to even think about. Even more so when I think about how much I spent already...

Anyone have a phone number I can call him at?

If he put the regulator BEFORE the Y -- he could just return the fuel right back to the tank and make it "appear" that it's a "return less" system the way new cars are done -- WAY less plumbing - WAY less heat soak in the return fuel.

No reason at all to run it after the injectors. They just want to see constant fuel pressure at whatever rate it's set to.

Thats what I was thinking Greg, but I know there are always different ways to do it. I had never heard of using it to compensate for acceleration. Learn something new everyday

This was the impression that I had when starting all of this. When I talked to brett at aeromotive he highly suggested that I run the system the way the picture shows. There was a reason that I dont remember, Either way Im going to look into the vaporworx stuff as long as its not outrageous in price.
